Political Theory - Karl Marx

This long video is very useful to learn the political theory of Karl Marx and to see historical development of Karl Marx ideas on society and politics.

Politics to Marx, like religion, is a manifestation of economics and the material world. All of history and the governance of humanity was a struggle between the “bourgeoisie” and the “proletariat.” In the beginning, people bartered and traded and lived in collective communities. Then, with farms came personal property. With currency came capitalism and the exploitation of workers for the profit of the property owners. Workers unjustly sold pieces of their lives for less than it was worth, creating surplus value which equates to profits for owners.
