Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.
Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.
Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.
Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.
Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

This is probably one of my best menus that i've stumbled into work and thrown together with no prep
Moroccan vegetable stew, moroccan rice pilaf (cumin/paprika/chili seasoned with cranberries, raisins, and toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds crushed up into it) and an orange and fennel tagine. The savory parts of the stew mix so well with the sweetness of the fruit and the orange from the tagine
God im good at food
Sounds excellent, I'm jealous and hungry
Thank you, it all turned out really good imo, unfortunately even though i told all my coworkers to eat the different dishes together (which resulted in very interesting interactions of flavors) literally nobody did that π
