Karl Marx (contd-1)

Origins of Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, and Anarchism

The late 19th century was a critical time of change: social, economical, political, and more. This change resulted from the revolutions of the previous centuries. Three such revolutions in particular are the French Revolution, Scientific Revolution, and the Christian Reformation. The culmination of these three revolutions gave birth to new political, social, and economical ideologies of Capitalism, Socialism- governmental and non-governmental, and Communism/Anarchism. Each ideology broke bonds with the old monarchial and feudal systems; however each has a very different view on the appropriate way to do so. Globally, the Revolution accelerated the rise of republics and democracies. It became the focal point for the development of all modern political ideologies, leading to the spread of liberalismradicalismnationalismsocialismfeminism, and secularism, among many others. In 1790s the
 Execution of Louis XVI in what is now the Place de la Concorde, facing the empty pedestal where the statue of his grandfather, Louis XV, had stood. 

Abolition of feudalism

On the night of 4 August 1789, the National Constituent Assembly abolished feudalism (sufficient peasant revolts had almost already ended feudalism) in the August Decrees, sweeping away both the seigneurial rights of the Second Estate and the tithes (a 10% tax for the Church) gathered by the First Estate. During a few hours nobles, clergy, towns, provinces, companies and cities lost their special 
privileges.
Germany developed its factories in this area and two classes were born Bourgeoisie and Proletariat. Even at the end of eighteenth cntury the Prussian Govt. did not dare to abolish the benefits earned by this revolution in Rhine.
Trier was established by Roman empire.
Karl was brought up in this city which was not only rich in its  past heriatge but also there were wretched artisans creating a huge contradiction between the two classes.
