  • Hey mumble chops this is youtube get on with it and speak clearly

  • This is a slight unmeritable man, meet to be sent on errands: And, though others lay labours on this man, to ease ourselves of divers slanderous loads, he shall but bear them as the ass bears gold, to groan and sweat under the business, either led or driven, as they point him the way; and having brought their treasure where they will, then take they down his load and turn him off, like to the empty ass, to shake his ears and graze in commons.

  • The spectre is still haunting us!

  • SANTA lol

  • You forgot about Marx throwing his maid out on the streets after he found out she was gunna have his baby. So much for workers rights huh?

  • Y A W N !..... A for effort.... D for educational value !...... Let see ... he had three dauthers and he moved a lot WOW !

  • You had my interest until you started talking about long sticks and hard balls.

  • Man.....The beginning was very classy !!! Great job dude...

  • The unbearable ROTTING STENCH of Marxism will be neutralized in 2012!

    God Bless America!

  • Long live Socialism !!

  • A moneyless,classless,stateless communities of humanity expressing our freedom in creative harmonious cooperation for a world that is so POTENTIALLY AND ACTUALLY nourishing. Capitalism in any form, Statist or Corporatist is the denial of our common humanity in a politically manipulated,tyrannical armed MARKET SYSYTEM of artificial scarcity that is designed to perpetuate the enslavement of immense humanity for material interest of the criminal ruling elite

  • was he a marxist?

  • Many talk about Marx but few really know him..Including me.he was a brilliant humanist, someone who fully developed his potential as a human and believed in it as an intrinsic part of us..few understood such capacity to love, maybe the type of person this world will hardly know again.Against the condition in which people are deprived from creating,deprived from knowing their own potential a system that occults to people who they are and that blasts the beauty of what humans could produce.

  • @javiesau His heritage is all the deaths of Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro and many more who followed the path of socialism which inevatably leads to mass murder.

  • @statewithinastateuk - Just like the deaths under Hitler, Mussolini, third world dictators, the empires of the 18th and 19th century, the Age of Discovery, and the Atlantic Slave trade and many more who followed the path of capitalism.

  • @A86 Hitler and Mussolini followed the same principals of Karl Marx as the difference between the two faiths are not that big. If you really are to compare National Socialism with Socialism in amounts of deaths you will discover that Socialism has murdered far more. It is not a competition however both faiths are inhumane. Socialism has been proven to be the worst of the two, just observe Russia and China today, as well as Vietnam and Kampuchea. Look up also the Hegelian Dialectic.

  • @Mekelsior - Absolute nonsense. Anti-Marxism is even one of the main tenants of Fascism and Nazism. Marxists believe in workers and labor unions taking over the government and using it to directly serve their interests in taking control of the economic sphere and means of production. Fascists and Nazis believe in corporatism and business nationalism and using the State to protect the interests of national industry in order to uphold "Heroic Capitalism" and avoid socialist revolution.

  • @A86 It is not absolute nonsense, there are relations between national socialism and socialism, my argument is that while they do have big differences they also have major similarities. I dont believe I claimed they were exactly the same, nor do I argue that death toll is a contest or a deciding factor. Im simply pointing out that there are similarities and we are navie to think they are opposed to eachother on every single doctrine.

  • @Mekelsior - Core tenants of Fascism: Anticommunism; anti-liberalism; anti-Marxism; corporatism; class collaboration (the antithesis of class conflict which is the basis of socialism); business nationalism; nativism; social traditionalism; religious conservatism; Social Darwinism; anti-unionism; state protectionism to uphold "heroic capitalism" and avoid a socialist revolution.

    Related ideologies: Falangism, Integralism, Producerism, Rexism, National Conservatism

    Real left-wing. (sarcasm)

  • @Mekelsior - I fail to see how any of that is similar to socialism.

  • @Mekelsior - Also, claiming systems are similar by death toll is ridiculous. Capitalism has killed more than Stalinism or Fascism (albeit over a longer time) yet it obviously isn't the same type of system as Stalinism or Maoism. The Nazis alone killed 13 million "non-Aryans" in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Germany and Austria (6 million Jews and 7 million non-Jews), 22 to 25 million or so Russians, around 2 million French and Britons. Not including over 10 million Chinese killed by Japanese Fascism.

  • well communist countries are dirt poor respond to that

  • Isn't it sort of ironic that you appear rich in the beginning but then praise Marx?

  • does the narrator remind anyone else of older Pete from the Adventures of Pete and Pete?

  • judging by the music, i thought the intro was going to throw a 1 800 number at me

  • @chrispollock lmfao, a 1-800 number for the karl marx bio video... that's hilarious. great comment :D

  • LOVE LIFE  HATE CAPITALISM

  • @arzoyan LOVE LIFE HATE SOCIALISM :D

  • You love this son of a Rabbi. Like most left wing garbarge, Marx is another big nosed idiot who will is just as arrogant and disgusting as the rest of the communits.

    BOYYYYYY

  • Dude, you missed out on a lot of important things in his life. Including the fact that he was atheist, or the only reason that he survived as a philosopher is because of an acquaintance he had. You are a twat.

  • Asshole way worse than Hitler.

  • oh karl can I marry you

  • Honest Business or Capitalism, SINCE WHEN, USA is founded on killings of Native people,African slavery was the workforce of US for generations, and the European Capitalism was ravaging and plundering of the world ,leaving trails of massacres,destructions,divisio­ns that to this day is the hot spot of killing fields and exploitations. Capitalism is WAGE SLAVERY OF IMMENSE HUMANITY . As for RUSSIA it was State capitalism of political dictatorship,just as China is today.

  • arzoyan - PWAAAHAHAHA..

    Shut up you goofy bastard.

  • Capitalism the wage slavery of immense humanity for the abstract process of capital accumulation and concentration in the hands of a few, a politically manipulated market mechanism where the worship of power and wealth is the cause of perpetual wars,poverty,exploitation,envi­ornmental destructions ,animal cruelty and so forth Capitalism is historically outdated and a vicious system that suppresses, devalues and distorts humanity in all walks of life.

  • @arzoyan : spoken like a true ignoramus! So much for British education. If you think you know it all, prove it: develop a business. Put workers to work! You wouldn't exploit them. No environmental destruction. No animal cruelty. No market manipulation. Just an honest business. What is keeping you back? The "class system"......or some other pathetic excuse?

  • @arzoyan Couldn't have put it better, well said !

  • @arzoyan Morons who believe in stupid terms like capitalism and communism miss the point entirley. BOTH are mechanisms to pool money from the masses into a central point from which the elites can plunder. Communism is just such a mechanism created by Jewish supremacists and funded by the Rothschild banking cartel who also funded the Bolshevic revolution. All these ideas of pooling resources in the name of "community" and "solidarity" are mechanisms of deception.

  • @arzoyan

    nice SO TRUE 100% :D

  • Hey, shqipe, do you really think a 21-year-old Albanian immigrant has any credibility? Especially one who is sympathetic to Hoxha, a communist idiot if ever there was one? You probably did not live under that "democratic" regime. It is still quite socialist. You have plenty of time and opportunity to go to Albania and practice what you think you believe. These borders are open, little boy, and NO ONE will stop you! Good luck.

  • karl marx: the original parasite. Never worked for anyone in his life because it was "beneath him." He preached communism for the "workers" but he married Countess Eugenia von Westphalen. He was one of the filthiest sons of bitches ever and had boils on his buttocks....LOL What a fraud. Too many idiots still think he's one of our "greatest philosophers"...LOL

  • @teachem2think He worked day after day on his writing. He had boils because of a liver problem. His wife was not Countess Eugenia - look up Jenny Von Westphalen on wikipedia.

  • @heliotropezzz333 ; I just did. I WAS WRONG! JENNY'S MOTHER WAS A BARONESS AND JENNY INHERITED THE TITLE: "In 1856 the Marxes moved to Grafton Terrace, near Hampstead Hill in London, thanks to the money given to Jenny by her mother the Dowager Baroness when she died (1856)." and "Jenny wrote: 'we are walking now steadfast to become bourgeois.' " No shit. ROTFLMAO LOLOL That dirtbag was a filthy fraud his entire life but I'll always feel sorry for his wife and his two suicidal daughters.

  • @teachem2think Whatever you think of Marx as a person, and there are various opinions on that, you are missing the genius of his mind and his influence on thinking, even of those who opposed him. He was the one they felt they needed to argue against. If he was just what you said, he would be forgotten by now but in more than one annual BBC4 radio poll on philosophers, he came top.

  • @heliotropezzz333 : And what the bloody hell do you expect from British "intellectuals, bourgeoisie, and working class yabos?

    Nothing to argue: everywhere his idiocy has been tried, it has failed dramatically. His so-called economic philosophy is not "employed" in order to "better the conditions" (blah blah blah) but because it is the perfect way to enslave an entire nation under the guise of beneficent welfare reform (blah blah blah)...and kill the opposition, of course.

  • This has got to be the worst Karl Marx biography ever. This contained no information: nothing on Marx's intense work with the First International, the Communist League or the world revolution 1848. There was no talk of Das Kapital. We got zero insight into Marx as a personal or a thinker.

    Total garbage.

  • @MikhailSilverwood Sorry you didn't enjoy it. Not meant to be political, just an overview of his life and upbringing

  • Sorry I was a bit angry. It's just that on the internet, there is no much misinformation about Marx; everytime I see his name, my blood immediatley boils as I assume it's anti-Marx, and using lies and misinterpretations of his work.

  • @MikhailSilverwood: I'm no Communist, but you are correct in that there is a lot of disinformation floating around about Marx's theories.............and sadly, most of these are coming from white supremacists, 'Jew World Order' people, etc.

  • When are you people going to learn? Communism is a perfect system that requires perfect people in order to work. People are not perfect! So, it will never work! A perfect system, with imperfect people... Can nobody see the incongruity here?? Furthermore, communism is'nt a new idea; people have been trying to make communism work, and failing at it for a long time. And you don't have to look very far to see that the system, no matter how it's done, sucks! Ask North Koreans how their children taste

  • @sterlingmcdonald that may very well be but democracy doesn't work very well either does is so called freedom does simply not exist.

  • I don't even know how to respond to that... You are quite possibly the dombest person to ever give me a retort! How can I expect you to understand the flaws of communism, when you can't even grasp simple grammer?? If you have a question about something that confuses you (communism) then just ask.

  • @sterlingmcdonald says the person that misspelled grammar lol

  • Maybe so, but within our free market system, we as free people to make independent decisions, should do what we can to end worker exploitation by at least supporting fair trade. People get screwed hard when they're on the bottom of the pyramid. That's why so many people in Latin America are fans of Che Guevara. We as free people could come to the rational decision that the corporate model isn't egalitarian enough and that a communist models could be implemented independently in businesses.

  • The Native Americans lived in sort of a communist society for ages. It's only when you introduce money, and hierarchy that the system becomes corrupted.

  • Honestly you couldn't be less educated. There isn't a shred of evidence suggesting that Native Indians didn't trade or use currency. Too much holleywood indoctrination for you. There are pleanty of native indian civilizations that collapsed long before 1492, and if history always repeats itself, than you can guarantee that those collapses were do to a few men's power and the loss of freedom from the masses. That's how it works! Forcing people to be equal is also a vice on our free agency........

  • Britain today needs proportional representation and an absence of media controlled propaganda to enhance its capitalist democracy. The triumph of socialism seems very remote especially when the parties that can bring it about are remote and split from the Labour party.

  • Come on ppl lets get rid of parliament and suspend the rule of law so we can streamline the whole process and rationalise the whole rotten structure, comb it thru to maximise efficiency, instigate the corporate state and thus get dwn and dirty with the basest of human society; the economy. SORT IT OUT.

  • I wouldn't call myself a Marxist.  But, I do love 'Hold On To The Night"...

  • It's like Master Piece theator but only with out the sent of English Leather or Old Spice!

  • @DODO7878 that's what I was going for!

  • The introduction: I cannot hear a word you are saying.

  • @bapyou turn up the volume

  • No ... it's not the volume ... it's the quality of the sound. It's too "boomy."

  • What is this democracy you speak of? i see only a republic.

  • sorry this is the rest of my reply they don't give you enough characters, However all i was saying is that while democracy may be more than a mere vote every five years things such as mass demonstration and free organisatin assembly, unions etc. were outlawed in most if not all nations claiming to be socialist. What is required is globalised democracy and international unity withn a liberal free international democracy, capital due to its flight ability is accountable to no one

  • Its clear that living standards and civilrights have been best improved in those nations with western democracies not socialist dictatorship. What is also clear is that those nations where living standards are highest are those where western liberal capitalism has been retained but at the same time there has been strong interference by democratically elected and democratically accountable institutions, not free market laissez faire neo-liberal order, think UK, europe and US post war 1945-1979.

  • living standards and civil rights in western nations exist despite, not because of capitalism and the "vote once every 5 years" democracy. any concessions have been hard won by unions and mass demonstration. The effect of capitalism in a country can not be measured only by the conditions of the people within it, but what is inflicted upon those in other countries. the "first world" as it stands could not exist without stealing third world resources.

  • touche,fine point but maybe all that means is that democracy should not be a mere vote every five years but a system whereby more democratic decisions are placed directly to the people and the guarantee of free assembly and free organisation, you are also correct in saying our living standards do require the third and second world, what maybe is then needed is the globalisation of democracy and not just the globalisation of capital and free trade.

  • Karl Marx was a genius and his dreams are getting closer each day!

  • Not bad at all.

  • The users community

  • haha...you like SavageNation!....you must be clinically insane, and you like the Russian imperial family. How good was it when Lenin had them all executed, fantastic stuff...dick sucking, right wing lunatic

  • Excellent presentation, particularly for someone so young. If this was a school project, it would receive a well deserved A+.

  • That's what I got

  • The boy beautiful :O

  • thanks

  • karl marx is god

  • That was quite possibly the cheesiest performance I have seen since the eighties, especially the little sip of drink at the end.

    I hope you intended to look like a jackass, because you did.

    Good night and god bless!

  • I nailed it

  • very informative:)

  • nice job pronouncing trier wrong you ignorant jackass

  • that's all you have to say about an 8 minute video

  • the narrator is annoying

  • wtf... dude that tacky intro was uber cheesy

  • thats what I was trying for

  • @mangaissofun

    I'm pretty sure it was intended to be. Funny stuff. "Large sticks hitting hard balls".

  • ابرهام لتكولن جراهام لينولكن / بل

  • ولكن ماذا

  • what are you talking about?

  • thanks for that, well done

  • Great .Thank you very much for adding to youtube! Srilanka.

  • brilliant video mate

  • "Goodnight, and God bless." lol

    Is that supposed to be a jab at Marx's opinion on religion?

    This is a very good video otherwise.

  • who ever made this video did their homework!

    thanks this helped me out with my final paper :)

    <3 m.

  • you`re a nurd and comunism sucks. and god bless the South!

  • Are you implying that people who aren't for Communism are from the south? Also, do you imply that all people from the south can't spell, don't like Communism, and say "God Bless" all the time? Is your perception of other cultures really that limited? How often do you travel? (I'm actually not from the south but I'm guessing you went ahead and assumed I was anyway. Am I right or wrong about you assuming that?) Do you think people are diverse or just lumped together in categories? Thanks.

  • you`re a nurd and comunism sucks. and god bless the South!

  • jajajajajaja poor americans still afraid to the communism???

  • this proves nothing, is just insulting people, and insulting people is lack of arguments. Don't presume I'm communist 'cos I'm not, the problem of communism is not the idea, is how it works in reality, 'cos there's allways someone who fucks up everything, any idea, it's some sort of mankind nature somehow... mankind is not ready for some ideas, it's utopic. Anarchism would be good if everybody is nice, you need no laws, but this can't be... you prove or refute nothing. congratulations.

  • Marxism is for faggots.

  • fine, and reading comments properly, making your conclusion an reply with a minimun of criteria is not your best part, is it?

  • I'm just came here to say "Marxism is for faggots." (Not literally speaking, obviously.) I didn't come here to discuss it or to debate it. If you like Marxism then fine. I didn't come here to change your mind about it. I just came here to make a statement. Take it or leave it.

  • (*I. Not "I'm." But I'm sure anyone could have figured that out.)

    Good day!

  • Actually I'm sort of "indiferent" therefore there's nothing to change my mind about, as it can be clearly seen in my previous comment. that's why I told you to read the comments. then if you came here just to make a statement why you make a reply to me instead of making it in the comment section?

  • Oh, yeah. To be quite honest, I'm not for Communism but if people are for Communism then that's their business. I do oppose it but was making a "silly" when I said "Marxism is for faggots." Why I hit reply? Like my original comment, I didn't give the matter much thought. I kinda have a "carefree" attitude. You know? I watch videos on YouTube and then I get bored, etc. I say stuff for the hell of it. Sometimes... Sometimes I'm down right serious like dude's comment about the south. Enjoy the day.

  • I guess I did interrupt a flow of serious discussion going on here. My bad.

  • actually... nope. I was looking for the man (biography) not the idea.

  • That's cool.

  • go cry some where else

  • Go fuck yourself. Have a nice day! :)

  • no one cares about your empty remarks here so go cry about your sad life somewhere else and stop insulting youtube users.

  • Seems like you're the one crying here and being all serious. I just respond here without any care in the world. It seems like you're trying to argue with me. Guess what? I don't care.

  • Karl Marx has a giant intellect and was a nice guy though he was much better at analysing the capitalist system than predicting how things would go in the future but then that's probably beyond the capacity of any human being.

  • Yeah. True. Good post.

  • riveting

  • THis is terrible. I feel like a bad teacher is sodomizing me.

  • can i copy every word u say and use it for homework??

  • sure

  • I'm not saying Marx is evil his ideas led to the deaths of hundreds of millions. On paper Communism looks good but realistically it was terrible.

  • Commies aren't cool....

    NoBama08!

  • "Communism is the most evil form of government on the planet!! Sieg Heil!! "... the last part is so absolutely LMAO... ever heard of the word hipocrisy?... sieg heil...XDDDD please... grow up.

  • No Mention of capital?? A less known, but much more influential of socialst leaders.

    And next time, lay off the

    "Long sticks, and hard balls" intro, it will throw most people off. Well done, but i didnt care for the into lol.

  • did you make this all by yourself?

  • it takes a WHOLE lot more faith to believe in Communism than Biblical Christianity...Psalm 14:1

  • Karl Marx teaches us all that philosophers should do their homework before they decide to play economist.

  • Niggas scared as a bitch to click on this shit. God bless old honest Uncle Sam.

  • i am a proud marxist. that groucho marx is hilarious.

  • Get out idiot!

  • WAS THAT YOUR HOUSE ?

  • i can't sit here and listen to the narrator, sorry...bring on Bill Kurtis or bring Robet Stack from the dead!

  • communism.....shit

  • ALL THE POWER TO THE SOVIETS!

  • Great man!

    Karl Marx was a genius!

  • The greatest teacher of mankind

  • The ending is even gayier if you can believe that... Nevertheless, it is an interesting, short biography on Karl Marx, that is worth watching.

  • the beginning is so fucking gay, i didnt watch the rest

  • we have yet to experience communism. .u are referring to totalitarian dictatorships.

  • the half of mankind tried to organize their life according to theideas of MArx and the other half of kapitalist-faschist countries did anything to kill sozialists within their coutries (Germany 1918/19, Italian FAschim, Spanisch Socialist Republic)and of course the USSR. It was the German and US capitalists who created the NAZIs at any time til today. If you can read German check google for "Antibolschewistenfond". Millions of lives lost are result of captitalism not socialism.

  • Try reading one of his books and not the Time Magazine /pube version of his life that you obviously have bought hook, line and sinker

  • Brains = Illusion , not real.

  • i like your style. :) props.

  • Hey, I like this video. It reminds me of those long-ago PBS specials of my childhood.

    Thanks for taking the time to make it.

  • I ll fuck ur sisters.

    Bastard stevo.

    Ur mum working meathouse.Fuck her.

  • Fuck ur MUm.Bastards.

    Moother fuckers.

  • and nazisme is a austrian idea

  • The German and some US capitalists created the NAZIs to kill the Socialists in Germany, Spain and the USSR. It began 1918/19 with the creation of the propaganda of the Hugenberg Konzern and the 500 million Antibolschewistenfond of German capitalists. This was used to pay private killer troups, called Freikorps and with money for the army and any antisocialst/ antibolshevist group that fighted against socialism.

  • communisme is a german idea

  • It's a Jewish idea.

  • vezum9 - your mother is so fat that was necessaire all milk box for to put their fat face !

  • rezistenta why don t you use Reply ?

    That s a very stupid joke ! Milk box ?

    Yeahh right like the milk you have in your brain, if you hawe one ?

  • I thought Trier was in Prussia?

  • Like your mother with your uncle ?

  • lear how to say "Trier"!

  • Lots of good original documents to look at. The text could use a re-edit and a proofread by another eye for grammar, style and meaning. Also, look at music again. You might have anachronistic music to some of the years you speak of. Also, I would suggest being more relaxed in your introduction. You don't come off as comfortable at the pool table or fireside. You should take some acting classes and you will come off as more natural.

  • "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

  • you are a ignorant

  • Very good beginning. The next sequel is hopefully going to explain why he is so influential.

  • Boooooooooaring

  • I finished and this shit sucks you barely cover the basics get more in depth next time.
