Karl Marx

It was only a matter of time before I started posting about this chap.

One question in our multicultural society is Marxism ever going to return and is our society becoming more aware of class?

Marxism was meant to be buried under the rubble of the Berlin wall, but as Christianity is starting to increase among the population under this Labour government (not that I am praising the party) could Labour's 'war' on the middle and upper class (for example, banning fox hunting) effect people's views on Marxism.

Over the next few years I may need to discover what kind of Historian I will be and I am dreading becoming a Marxism Historian (but it is not the 70's) as I believe that there must be more to history then just a economical class struggle, but if you look at 'The Peasants Revolt' and the French revolution, they were about the lower classes in a class struggle, so maybe he got it a little right.

But his plan for the future was wrong, as capitalism continued to grow and grow and not socialism. I wonder what he would say about Tony Blair's Labour party.

I might continue to study Marxism, however I do not share that ideology yet.

I would like to hear your views on Marxism.
