katie mccue marx response

Before reading this book, I knew a little bit about Karl Marx, but mostly just basic ideas behind his theories. Of course, reading through this text helped to lighten the subject matter a bit through the use of drawings and humor, to a level where I could really understand it better. Karl Marx was more then just a philosopher, but a politician, economist, among other things, which is clearly seen and understood in his writings and theories. His stance on capitalism is one that I am sure many can support and stand by, especially during these rough times. Its interesting to read about his philosophy on our government and as human beings in general due to the fact he was an individual who faced many hardships, and was able to place things in a clear and distinct context. All in all, I saw where Marx was going and have a better understanding on what he stated so many years ago, due mostly to the book itself. The comic like drawings and illustrations, coupled with the text, really gave light to the different issues I was not sure of on the whole Marx philosophy.
