Karl Marx was on the British Payroll. Think Marxism is German? Think Brussels and London!!

Do not ever believe England is interested in what is best for the United States of America. England is only interested in control. Thank God England has lost!!



Before a back-and-forth about LaRouche fills the thread, how about a look at Marx in London?

Of course, he's buried in Highgate Cemetery, London.... So ---

"As we have seen, it was in 1848 (Va) that the German social philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published the Communist Manifesto, calling for the workers of the world to unite and overthrow the capitalist system. Because of the revolutions which broke out across Europe later that year, Marx was obliged to take refuge in London. There he became the virtual leader of the First International, organised by the International Workers’ Association in 1864. Under his guidance this organisation flourished, but in 1871 he came out strongly in favour of the Paris Commune of that year, and this brought into the open the deep divisions within the movement. He managed to defeat the anarchists who, led by the German socialist Mikhail Bakunin, wished to take direct action against the capitalist governments, but this brought about the collapse of the International in 1876. Meanwhile Marx spent long hours writing up his major work Das Kapital (Capital), the first volume of which was published in 1867. In this he argued that the capitalist system made the bourgeoisie progressively wealthy by exploiting the working man, forcing him to labour long for little reward. It was inevitable, he claimed, that the working class would overthrow capitalism by violent means and introduce a communist system based on common ownership of the means of production and a classless society. Marx died in 1883 and it was left to his collaborator Friedrich Engels to edit his friend's notes and produce the additional two volumes in 1885 and 1894. Marx was one of the most influential socialist thinkers of all time, and his theories, inciting as they did a class struggle, were to have an enormous impact upon the history of the 20th century in Europe and, given time, across most parts of the world."

And in the few years before? He was already in exile in Belgium, 1845.

So he was in Belgium in 1847-48 when his and Engels' manifesto was published. And 4 March 1848, he was arrested and exiled to England,
Think Marxism is German? Think Brussels and think London, given the locations of his "work."
