d. He passed away peacefully in his armchair. He is buried next to his wife at Highgate Cemetery in London. Marx’s influence during his life was not great His influence increased after his death with the increase of the labor movement “His analysis of capitalist economy and his theories of historical materialism, the class struggle, and surplus value have become the basis of modern social doctrine” (Marx 4 5). Marx contribution to our understanding of society has been enormous. His stress on the economic factor in society and his analysis of the class structure in class conflict have had an enormous influence on history, sociology and the study of human culture. Because of Marx’s ways, ideas, thoughts and philosophies, he was the most hated and calumniated man of his time. Although everyone had there own opinions about Marx, his ideals, philosophies and works, both him and his works will most definitely endure through the ages. He is a well-respected man whom will never be forgotten.
