When he died in 1883, Karl Marx was “relatively unknown,” says Mark Levin. Many knew about his predecessors Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who were considered great philosophers, but Marx himself “was not widely cited.”
It wasn’t until Woodrow Wilson and the birth of the progressive movement of “American Marxists” that Marx’s name began circulating in intellectual circles. Fast-forward to today, and he’s practically a household name — especially among conservatives, who see that his nefarious ideas form the bedrock of the progressive ideology that’s destroying this country.
