History Hub presents a complete biography of Harriet Tubman from start to end, whose remarkable story inspires us even today. Karl Heinrich Marx had a very rough life from having his works outlawed to his children and wife's death and poverty. Even though he conceived of brilliant economic and political ideologies, he ultimately felt like a failure. Marx is well-known as an influential revolutionary, rather than a philosopher whose works influenced and inspired most modern-day communist regimes. Trained as a philosopher, Marx left the field in his mid-twenties and instead pursued politics and economics. However, as a nod to his early philosophical works, Marx heavily based his later writings on history, social sciences, moral and political philosophy. Marx did not live to see his philosophies carried out in his lifetime, yet his works framed the current international communism's theoretical foundation. Marx is considered the father of communism. He greatly influenced modern thought with his ideas of a fair economic, political, and social system still relevant in the 21st century.
