The great Karl Marx was born on May 5, 1818 in Trier, Rhine Province, Prussia, Germany. In 1776, James Watt discovered the potential of steam power in England and the Industrial Revolution began. Steam accelerated the growth of science and opened the gate to modernity and capitalism.
Marx saw this evolution and discovered its paradox. The theory that came here is explained and established as science the way to understand the levels of socio-economic creation in a scientific conviction. These steps were linear. Unconvertible. Old preserved with new. This situation helped Marx to deeply analyze the situation of the three countries in Europe. That includes France, where socialism was a dream. Science and class relations were not mature. So socialism remained a mere utopia.
On April 14, 1789, the revolution began when the Bastille, the royal fortress in Paris, was raised, raising the slogans of equality, liberty and fraternity, but the goal was far from over. France was soaked in blood. The royal family was guillotined. But the time for equality and justice is not ripe. Marx made a scientific analysis of the terms equality and justice most relevant to human life. But Marx made it clear that the transition from feudalism to capitalism was not yet complete. The Industrial Revolution was led by the bourgeoisie, peasants and workers. But the revolutionary methods and conditions were not ripe enough. Marx analyzed the stages of evolution and explained that each idea becomes clear only through its background. Interpretations vary according to the nature of classes, rulers and governance and according to socio-economic levels. Class divisions were based on mode of production. The peasants who led the French Revolution were very attached to their land. But they stood for change. They did not want to leave the land even though they did not own it. The land belonged to the king. On the other hand, Janmi pointed out the duty of collecting tribute from the cultivator.

The bourgeoisie also joined the struggle against them. But it was not to end the betrayal, but only to bring out birth forces. Each man defended his own class interest. So justice is not truth. Freedom from chains was also not possible. Equality was out of the question. Marx defined and established slogans scientifically to discover his class character. He pointed out that the society is moving forward in the unity and struggle of the two groups. They built a society together, putting each man according to his place in the struggle class. The conclusion that summarizes the process of “rule by the working class” is a dialectical definition, although the dialectic continues and changes occur. Marx was a critic of French slogans. None of this explains the basic view of the class. The demands of equality, liberty and fraternity can only be understood from a class perspective. It was Marx who first brought this fact to light with the historicity of the class struggle. Marx went deeper and identified the cyclical crisis of capitalism.
Production moves through various stages. It grows and develops and then reaches a different level. The next stage is recession. It’s a downward journey. Little by little the recovery period returns. While entering the ranks, Marx wrote about speculation and false capital. and discovered the process of capital accumulation. He also explained that he had a tendency to seek fraudulent means to earn more money than from the production process. Money and capital began to flow into the stock market and speculation. The rise of speculation in times of capitalist crisis. A clear example can be found in the terrible developments in the Covid pandemic. People died in the plague. The bodies were scattered in the bushes and on the banks of the river. But speculation was at an all-time high. According to reports, the Ambanis, among others, got a profit of more than 36 percent during this period. Marx is more relevant today than ever. It is through him that we fight for democratic values and constitutional rights. We are fighting for our freedom and equality against the vested interests of monopoly capital.

It was Marx who discovered the mode of production as the basis for all socio-economic creation. Before Marx, the three essential factors in the production process were raw materials, machinery and labour. he was not human. Labor was mentioned as other things. Marx was the first to recognize human participation in production. They are called workers. Recognized as working class. Labor is used at all levels of socio-economic creation. Marx recognized the level of capital and the different levels for money. It set the stage for Lenin to recognize empire as a combination of industrial capital and bank capital, setting the stage for finance capital. Marx was primarily a scientist and his philosophy was based on dialectics. He established the physical nature of the world. It is always in a mode of change. Nothing is final in the physical world. It is a change. The movement is the result of dialectics, a combination of unity and resistance. Marx was the leading philosopher, scientist and thinker who predicted that a classless society could be led by the proletariat.
