In this episode of The Vancrux Podcast, we explore the mind of Karl Marx — the 19th-century philosopher who transformed how we understand society, power, and history itself.
By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how one man, born in obscurity, turned the chaos of industrial Europe into a scientific theory of progress. From the roaring factories of the Industrial Revolution to the revolutionary streets of 1848, Marx revealed the hidden engine driving human civilization: class struggle.
We’ll uncover the core of his philosophy — Historical Materialism, the belief that it’s not ideas but economic conditions that shape history. You’ll also learn how capitalism, according to Marx, breeds alienation, inequality, and its own eventual downfall. And how ideology — the invisible hand of culture — keeps power intact by making inequality seem natural.
From The Communist Manifesto to Das Kapital, from revolution to repression, Marx’s ideas have shaped nations, inspired movements, and still echo in today’s digital economy. Whether you see him as prophet or heretic, his question remains timeless: Who truly controls the means of your life?
🎧 Tune in to dive deep into the philosophy, rebellion, and lasting impact of a man who changed the way we see history — and ourselves.
