Marx

1. A surname from German
2. Karl Marx (1818–1883), a German political philosopher, economist, and sociologist.
   • 1937 August, Lawrence Martin, "The Odyssey of a Bogeyman", Esquire, Vol. 8, No. 2, p. 39:

     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.

   • 2017 October 25, Alison Flood, “Russian revolutionaries' children ‘read classic fiction, not Marx’”, in The Guardian:

     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.

   • 2020 March 5, “Ernesto Cardenal died on March 1st”, in The Economist:

     In his experience, Christ had led him to Marx, and the Gospels, with their message of social justice, had led him to communism.
