On May 5th, 1818, Karl Marx, hero of the international proletatiat, was born. His revolution of Socialist theory reverberates throughout the world carries on to this day, in increasing magnitude. Every passing day, he is vindicated. His analysis of Capitalism, development of the theory of Scientific Socialism, and advancements on dialectics to become Dialectical Materialism, have all played a key role in the past century, and have remained ever-more relevant throughout.
He didn’t always rock his famous beard, when he was younger he was clean shaven!
Some significant works:
Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844
The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte
Critique of the Gotha Programme
Manifesto of the Communist Party (along with Engels)
And, of course, Capital Vol I-III

Farmers ceased to exist? Enclosure riots started in 1530, 200 years before the industrial revolution.
The desire for progress today doesn’t mean the past was better. Did the civil rights riots of the 1960’s mean that slavery was better?
I can admit that I’m not enough of a history nerd to disprove you. I’m pretty sure Karl Marx uas, though.
But yeah, if you say so: Capitalism is as old as humanity. From way back when people invented money to make barter easier, which never happend. Sure thing, bra. /s
Come on man, I only said I saw a Lord owning the means of production as the same as a businessman owning the means of production.
