The Soviet Ordeal Ep. 1 Karl Marx

from Savage Continent · host Stephen Eck

To some he was a genius that gave hope to millions. To others he was charlatan that nearly led mankind to its destruction. Everyone agreed that he was a rebel that offered a savage indictment on the harsh realities of modern industrial society; a prophet of doom to  the powers that be.  His work still inspires aspiration and dread to this day. It is still relevant. In a century it will remain relevant. Who was he? What did he really believe? What vision did he offer? You may think you know him but chances are you only know half the story.  It's Karl Marx... this time on Savage Continent.
