Who was Karl Marx and why would someone who agrees with him differ from a capitalist?
@kag @thomaster @LAKERNATION24 can you guys help, I know rose21 was already here.

that's ok rose, thanks any way.
Karl Marx was a (i think German) philosopher, and someone who agrees with him would differ from a capitalist because he believed in Socialism, not Capitalism. He thought that Capitalism was just lower classes being controlled by the higher classes. Socialism is defined as a mode of production where the sole criterion for production is use-value and therefore the law of value no longer directs economic activity. Socialism is also really similar to communism, except in socialism, you only get what you work for. Kind of how in early America they had the rule where if you don't work, you don't eat and all that lol
(In case you don't know what Capitalism is, it's the system we have here in the US where everyone and anyone can sell anything for however much they want, and just make as much money as they want lol)
Thanks @MikeyMikee
