Paul Strathern - Marx in 90 minutes

Paul Strathern - Marx in 90 minutes wiki: Karl Heinrich Marx (May 5, 1818–March 14, 1883) was a German[1] philosopher, political economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, communist and revolutionary credited as the founder of communism. Marx summarized his approach to history and politics in the opening line of the first chapter of The Communist Manifesto (1848): “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” Marx argued that capitalism, like previous socioeconomic systems, will produce internal tensions which will lead to its destruction.[2] Just as capitalism replaced feudalism, socialism will in its turn replace capitalism and lead to a stateless, classless society which will emerge after a transitional period, the "dictatorship of the proletariat".

Thanks for this upload. There is some bourgeois bias in this, but far from what I've encountered in american lecturers. Strathern does spend way too much time though with trying to point out the hypocritical elements of Marx's life. He also omits the more democractic socialism which also took its cue from him originally, and focuses only on dictatorial communism. Still, worth listening to.
