Marx's character

”Karl Marx”(by Masao Hamabayashi/2010/Gakushunotomosha)

This book describes both Marx's arguments and his private life.

It is said that "human beings are free," but in a capitalist society money is everything. Transactions involve profit and profit. The goods produced by the workers become the property of the capitalists.
A society where you can do anything as long as you have money, even if you have no ability. The rich are respected and the poor are excluded.
People who don't have money can't do anything. People who don't have money even have their lives threatened.
This leads to depletion of life and character.

In his ”Communist Manifesto'', Marx appealed, ''Communism is not a scary thing. Communism makes people all over the world happy.''

Marx says.''Working for others is painful, but working for yourself is joyful.”

Marx called for shorter working hours, an eight-hour working day, and freedom of political activity for workers.

Powerful people around the world attacked communists and anti-government activists without understanding what ''communism'' or ''aka(Red)'' meant.

Those in power attack by saying, ''Communism confiscates private property''.
However, Marx only proposed ''transferring the property of large corporations to the property of society as a whole.''
If you read Marx's original writings, it is clear that other anti-communist attacks are lies.

Marx said, ''In countries undergoing political transition, it is necessary to elevate the workers to the status of the ruling class.''
Initially in Japan, this was translated as "独裁(dictatorship)," but now it is translated as "執権(authority)".

As a child, Marx was selfish, stubborn, and violent. However, this was also the driving force behind his research activities, which were more than average.
Harada says. "That's the human part of Marx."

Marx came from a bourgeois background, but devoted his life to research for people suffering from poverty, became exiled and stateless, and spent his last years suffering from the poverty of his own family and his own multiple illnesses.
(One of his illnesses that Marx suffered from was purulent pus)
However, he always had the support of Marx's wife Jenny and his close friend Engels.

Marx thoroughly criticizes any authority figure to their face, and even behaves strongly towards the police who arrest him.

Marx's stubborn personality and private life are very well expressed in "Le jeune Karl Marx (2017/Director: Raoul Peck)".

Harada says. ''I saw the trailer for the Chinese government's animated biography of Marx, but it portrays Marx too much as a handsome young man. That has the opposite effect. All my Chinese acquaintances admire America.''

Marx is not a mild-mannered, obedient honor student.
He was always angry at an unjust society.
