Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.
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.

Oh don't get me started on front of house anything. We got a late rush and the 2 noobs there who fuck up a lot (one comes by it honestly and well, she's cooled before and gets how it's a huge pain in our asses and sneaks us apology drinks at the end, the other just has this entitled vibe to her and seems to think we are here just for her). So in the middle of all the this she asks me in the window if we had sent a Hawaiian pizza for takeout. We had sent several and she didn't give any extra detail. None were in the window cause they were about a half hour ago and she said 'I'll check out front which should have been her first move before asking me who's juggling 4 orders at 15 fucking minutes to close when I'd been there almost 9 hours and don't have time to talk. So hearing she hadn't even check there I held back my fervor and said 'yeah, probably a good idea.'. She had the nerve, the fucking gall to say to me, adult to adult 'I could do without the attitude, (my name)'. No one has spoken to me like this since I was a child unless they could fire me. She is 10 years younger and I am 4 year senior at that place. I was making food when she started school. I don't tolerate people I respect talking to me that way let alone this airhead raver who can't do her job. I just didn't reply cause I'm at work but she's fucking dead to me and the rest of the kitchen now. She gave my dishwasher homie similar bullshit when he came asking for the bar stuff to wash so he could leave on time. Something like 'you'll get it when we're ready'. She's been here like 4 months. All of the kitchen have been here over 2 years. She is in no position to dictate to us
