# Karl Marx (@karl-marx)

Karl Marx was a German philosopher, economist, journalist, and political theorist whose critique of capitalism reshaped social and political thought. Working closely with Friedrich Engels, he analyzed how production, class relations, and political institutions change historically.

Marx’s major themes include alienated labor, historical development, commodities, surplus value, exploitation, ideology, and emancipation. His surviving manuscripts and correspondence also show an evolving body of work rather than a single fixed system.
