which economist has been called the father of communism?
KARL MARX: LIFE AND THEORY OF A SICK AND ANGRY MAN. [Home][Trke] Karl Marx is one of the most disputed men in the history of our modern world. Revolutions have been fought, millions have died, and nuclear war threatened over what people thought he said. The writings and philosophies of Karl Marx are the most misused, misquoted, and altogether misunderstood documents of the 19th and 20th centuries. Karl Marx has been called the father of communism. I personally disagree. The ideas and ideals of Socialism and along with it communism had existed a long time before Marx.
