Karl Marx
Karl Marx, Prussian-born philosopher, economist, and revolutionary, is the architect of the Manhattan Commune and the intellectual father of the Industrial Proletarian Movement. Expelled from both Prussia and France for his radical ideas and agitation, Marx arrived in New York City in 1848, where he found fertile ground in the slums, factories, and shipyards of Manhattan. There, among immigrant laborers and disillusioned industrial workers, he ignited a revolutionary fire that led to the successful uprising of 1849 and the foundation of the world’s first workers’ republic.
Marx’s theories of class struggle, surplus labor, and industrial collectivism have been translated into living doctrine within the Commune. As Chairman of the Central Committee, he oversees both ideological guidance and practical governance, working alongside engineers, union leaders, and social theorists to construct a society based on common ownership, labor credit, and open technological advancement.
Known to his followers as “The Red Engineer”, Marx is not a tyrant, but a theoretician in motion — equally at home in factory halls, political forums, and communal kitchens. His writings, including The Steam Manifesto and Dialectics of the Engine, have spread across the globe, inspiring clandestine worker movements in Boston, Liverpool, and Paris, and provoking fear in monarchs and capitalists from London to Richmond.
Despite persistent assassination attempts, embargoes, and propaganda wars, Karl Marx remains a tireless and charismatic force, devoting his life to the vision of a world where machines liberate humanity, not enslave it, and where the power of industry is wielded by the many, not the few.
