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.

I wrote a 300 word email explaining an issue someone asked about and my coworkers are acting like I wrote a 5 page essay that needs an AI summary
I've written things clients have had a financial incentive to receive. It was an attachment and instructions for what to do with it. It was replete with actionable steps in bold.
It still took them a month to get into a meeting and ask me to set up a dropbox or something. It was only after I explained that Dropbox would actually be more effort than they went and searched their inbox for it, found it, and used it.
Turns out they were given way more than they could handle and the entire project was secondary to the duties they were accustomed to. It was after that when I relented on how much I judge someone for being bad in an office. Even if they are being stupid I sort of shrug my shoulders.
This happens too much in office culture, I can't take it seriously.
