-
A surname from German ▸ Karl Marx (1818–1883), a German political philosopher, economist, and sociologist.
In his experience, Christ had led him to Marx, and the Gospels, with their message of social justice, had led him to communism.
2020 March 5, “Ernesto Cardenal died on March 1st”, in The Economist, archived from the original on 03 Nov 2020:He discovered that far from focusing on the writings of Marx and Engels for their reading, the Bolsheviks and their children preferred expressly anti-revolutionary works by western authors such as Dickens, Defoe, Shakespeare, Hugo, Balzac, Flaubert, Goethe, Kipling and Wilde.
2017 October 25, Alison Flood, “Russian revolutionaries' children ‘read classic fiction, not Marx’”, in The Guardian:This is one of the developments Karl Marx failed to predict. Had he foreseen it he might have expired in guffaws, rolling in the aisle of the British Museum Library amid the notes for Das Kapital, that bearded Santa Claus of the revolution who slipped the unwanted gift of communism down the world's chimneys.
1937 August, Lawrence Martin, "The Odyssey of a Bogeyman", Esquire, Vol. 8, No. 2, p. 39
