Karl Marx’s revolutionary thoughts were influenced by several formative experiences, particularly the socio-political climate of 19th-century Europe. Born into a middle-class family, he was exposed to the struggles of the working class through his research and interactions. The failure of revolutions during his lifetime, alongside his engagement with fellow intellectuals, drove him to analyze the dynamics between capitalism and class struggle. These challenges deepened his commitment to a materialist approach to history and society, ultimately leading to the development of his theories on class conflict and social change.
