May 5th, 2017 was the 199th Birth Anniversary of Karl Marx, the greatest  philosopher the world has ever seen, who analysed capitalism in all its aspects and published the historical book “Capital” in 1867. 150 years have passed since.

200 year Birth Anniversary of Karl Marx and the 150th year of publication of ‘Capital’ is being observed all over the world.This period is being utilised to study Marxism, publish Marxist Literature, debate about the impact of Marxism in the present world etc.

After the collapse of the USSR, the advocates of the imperialism and capitalism gleefully  shouted from the roof-tops that socialism is dead  for ever. But the economic crisis in the 2007-08 had compelled them to rethink. One noted capitalist economist said later: “Karl Marx got it right, at some point capitalism can destroy itself. We thought markets worked. They are not working.”

Karl Marx pointed out in the “Communist Manifesto”: “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles”. The class struggle continues at each and every stage.

His entire life was dedicated to the cause of the working class and the toiling masses. His mortal remains are in the High Gate Cemetery in London, which is being visited by hundreds of people from all over the world every day, to pay respects.

I could visit the cemetery more than once during my journey to London as also the Karl Marx Library, which is also situated in London.

downloadToday, 14th March 2015, is the 132 death anniversary of Karl Marx, the greatest philosopher and revolutionary the world has ever seen. He died on 14th April 1883 at his London residence.

The Communist Manifesto authored by him and Frederic Engels  remains the basis of the Communist movement in the world. The Capital four volumes written by Karl Marx analyses in detail the development of the society and the capitalist system in particular.

After the collapse of the USSR in the last decades of 20th century, the captains of capitalism declared that Communism and Marx have become irrelevant. But the crises in 2007 and afterwards made them think once again. According to a recent report, more and more people are reading Marx.

The human society has always moved forward, though sometimes for a brief period, it might have been stagnant or gone backward. The move from Capitalism to Communism is bound to happen, though it may take time. History has proven the inevitability  of change.

Twice I got the opportunity to pay homage directly at the cemetery of Karl Marx in London. On this death anniversary of Karl Marx, I pay my respectful homage!

Red Salute to Karl Marx!

14 March is the death anniversary of Karl Marx, the greatest philosopher the world has ever seen and the architect of the Manifesto of the Communist Party. He was born on 5th May 1818 an passed away on 14th March 1883 at the age of 65.
The Manifesto of the Communist Party was first published in February 1848 and has been later published in almost all languages in the world. It changed the world itself.
He died and was cremated in Highgate cemetery in London. I take it as a great privilege to have been able to visit the cemetery of Marx.
