Before our discussion on Marx I never really knew much about him, but everything I did hear about him had a negative connotation. However, after discovering more about him and what he wanted, I truly admire Karl Marx. Now, granted I do not really believe in or agree with pretty much any of his ideas, but he wanted a better life for everyone. He truly believed in the little guy and was fighting to help him. The life that he and most everyone lived in that period of time was hard. It was much harder than any life I’m sure anyone in class has ever experienced. But, instead of just shutting his mouth and scraping by like all the others, Marx tried to do something. He started to take action, and take action for those who truly needed it. That is an extremely admirable quality, at least to me. And the fact that he did all of that in a time when it was much harder to do than it is today, at least in America, is even more admirable. I believe that Karl Marx had good intentions and I think that everything he did was quite impressive. Marx really wanted people to get paid for what they did and even enjoy their work, at least to an extent. He wanted fairness, and even though he had different opinions than mine of how to achieve that, he did try, and I find myself really liking the heart of Karl Marx. He was a better person that I’ve ever thought.

I would agree with your statement that Marx was trying to better society for everyone with his proposals. However, his means of accomplishing this better society are questionable.
