Marx lived his last years in England, the only country were he felt safe to write and to expose his ideas, for the benefit of humanity, as the previouss post express all improvements on worker rights, as the hours to work, the right to have holidays, the salary according to theyr needs.etcetc. were Marx ideas.
If many european countries have the actual level of life and comodities and social peace its exactly for having in mind Marx ideas.Smart leaders feared to social revolts or revolution( pushed by unhuman situation of the working class men...and theyr families...most of the population by the way...)leaded them to create Legal parameters to benefit workers , and keep things calm.
As the previouss post express the current situation and standard of life its somehow product of Marxist ideas.
Remember his friend, Engels was very rich owner of Industries,and help Marx to develop his work, and even support him monetary.
Not all Marxist are violent resentfull ones and not all Rich men are Fascist Canibals!!!
