Karl Marx
The revolutionary socialist thinker who argued that capitalism exploits workers, creates class conflict, and will inevitably be overthrown and replaced by a communist society.
Real World
Amazon warehouse workers in the US and UK have unionised and struck over wages and conditions — a direct illustration of Marx's predicted conflict between the bourgeoisie (Bezos/shareholders) and the proletariat (fulfilment-centre workers).
Exam Focus
Always link Marx to revolutionary socialism and contrast him with democratic socialists — examiners penalise conflating Marx with reformist Labour.
