All of us
know Karl Marx for his Communist Manifesto published in 1845. He saw the whole
history of struggle as a class struggle. His fundamentalist text of Marxism was
Das Capital, which saw the world in 1867.
His
private life was not so smooth. He lived in extreme poverty having a
weakness for all the good things in life as all of us have.
He
fathered many children and even did not spare his housekeeper who bore him an
illegitimate son. The credit for keeping his body and soul together goes to his
wealthy friend Friedrich Engels. We can also credit Engles' support, which
helped Marx to produce a hell lot of volume of timeless work.
At his
funeral, there were only eleven mourners.
