Be it Germany, France, Italy, Belgium or the United Kingdom, Marx struggled all his life for an egalitarian society and fought for rights of the proletariat class - who were considered useless and had no voice at all to argue the dictatorial authority. Marx and his thoughts state one simple thing - the working class should carry out organised revolutionary action to topple capitalism and bring about socio-economic emancipation.
