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.

Honestly not sure since I've only had 2 places out of 30 places I've applied to even message me. I just assume not having any education just makes them throw my application out

I would lie. No job will check. For like 50$ we can just buy a fake on online if you are super nervous about it. We can work on other stuff later but for this you are ethically and morally justified in lying and then working on the ged stuff at your own pace while working. I think though the rejection rates you are seeing are pretty normal across the board. The economy is a bit shit right now. Unless you are applying for a job with specific regulated lisencing, like nursing, you are completely fine lying as like even most engineering jobs only use a handful of skills you learn from school. On the job training si more important. You can also continue education while you working and that is probably more important for your development.

they definitely don't check. you can probably add that ged program to your resume and just make up a graduation date and they'll be none the wiser. i did that with a college certificate program i didn't finish before and was never asked for any proof.

and please try not to be too hard on yourself about dropping out. it's not at all easy and it absolutely is not your fault meow-hug
