In 2018, on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of the great thinker, political scientist, philosopher, economist, revolutionary theorist, historian and sociologist Karl Marx, a film called "Young Marx" was released. It’s a pity that I didn’t have the chance to finish watching the movie until today. The biggest feeling is that even though he was exiled and poor, he did not shake his confidence, conviction and belief in communism in the slightest.
Marx and Engels co-wrote the "Communist Manifesto" when he was 30 years old. The film introduced a story before the manifesto was published and shared a few details that I paid attention to:
1. Fighter. From the beginning of the film, when the "Rheinland" where Marx was located was seized, he was a fighter, risking being arrested, and chose to criticize directly instead of evasively accusing the bourgeoisie.
2. Warriors. When Marx’s wife Jenny gave birth to their second daughter, they had a quiet life in exile. They received a letter from Engels introducing the Alliance of the Righteous and inviting him to join. Although Marx hesitated, he finally Reunite with Engels without hesitation.
3. Warrior. When I read the "Manifesto of the Communist Party", there are prefaces of various versions before, and various documents related to it afterwards. Through watching the movie, I realized that I was not sure that I was able to become a member on the spot to be eligible to speak, and the call was not deepened. What kind of charisma and wisdom are needed for members who understand to change the name and slogan of the organization?
4. "Bachelor". Engels suggested that Marx study economics, but in English that he was not familiar with, Marx immediately said: I can learn it. This kind of growth thinking was of great benefit to his later writing of "Das Kapital".
The biggest revelation from this movie is that nothing is smooth sailing. The birth of the great Marx and great works is accidental and inevitable. Even in exile and poverty, he has not shaken his confidence, belief and belief in communism in the slightest. . It was the persistence of him and Engels that gave the labor movement a theoretical basis, and it is still shining today after more than 170 years.
In 1999, at the turn of the century, when the millennium changed, Western media launched the selection of millennium men who influenced the world. Marx was elected by many media as a great man of the millennium, a thinker who mainly criticized capitalism, and was named by contemporary western capitalism. Great man, the truth is worth pondering. Her lover Bai Fumei Yanni, who left a wealthy family, gave up a prosperous life, and chose to support him unconditionally. She bluntly did not want to live a boring life in a manor that could be seen at a glance. Facts have proved that she and Marx have become A monument in human history!
After watching the movie, Marx and Engels changed from the wise beards in the book illustrations to the flesh and blood young men in my heart. They were also frustrated and frustrated. Engels lived in contradictions. He criticized the bourgeoisie, but he lived in a capitalist family. In the middle, what made him apostate and stand on the opposite side of the family? It is justice, the call of "everyone is a brother" to "the proletarians of the world, unite!"
