karl marx - still the most influential
WORKERS, SEPT 2005 ISSUE
For the third time in as many years, Karl Marx, long dead founder of communism, has been named as the most influential philosopher ever — first in a German poll, then in a Europe-wide poll and now Radio Four!
The German-born communist won "The World's Greatest Philosopher", with more votes than all the opposition combined, with a turn-out seven times higher than expected and a percentage higher than many Labour MPs managed in the last General Election. Karl Marx triumphs again.
