Whether you consider he was a force for good, or at least good intentions, or a force for bad, or at least bad results, you must admit he influenced a lot of people and countries. He was born Jewish, his father converted the family to Christianity when he was a child, and as an adult he advocated no teaching of religion.
Where can you as a tourist, or a website tourist, go to find more about him?
When I was a student in London, England, I went to see Karl Marx's memorial in Highgate Cemetery, London.
It is huge. You might think you would easily spot it from afar. But it is not that easy to find if you don't know where it is. On my first visit I did not find it. I later learned that the cemetery is in two halves.
Marx was born in Trier, Germany, in a building which is now a museum. You can see statues of Marx in: Berlin, Germany, Shanghai, China. Murals in India.
