    Karl Marx, a renowned German philosopher and historian, has died in London at the age of 83 after a year-long illness. Marx is best known for co-authoring The Communist Manifesto with Friedrich Engels in 1848, which argued that history is defined by class struggle between the bourgeoisie and proletariat. The Communist Manifesto called for the violent overthrow of capitalism and establishment of a communist government without inheritance or private property laws. Marx and Engels were exiled from multiple countries due to their radical leftist views. Marx will be remembered as one of the most influential thinkers and writers on the political ideologies of communism and socialism in the 19th century.
