Title: Karl Marx
Post by: darthkiwi on February 15, 2013, 04:55:27 PM
Has anyone read him?

I can't seem to help coming across him accidentally. He cropped up in bits and pieces for most of my undergrad. And now I have a feeling I'll have to read him after all because he's kind of relevant to an essay I'm working on. (My point would be about how villagers and soldiers in Age of Empires - heck, most RTSs - are both commodities and workers, and how that's kinda really weird and I don't really know what's going on there.)

In fact, what *do* people know about him? I didn't know much except he's a beardy guy who came up with socialism until he got mentioned in a few texts. Even now I'm hardly an expert :P
