This paper as a statement of the birth of Marx slightly recalls the basic thoughts of Karl Marx so as not to forget, before explaining more deeply than his thoughts and movements, the author explains the early life of Karl Marx until his death.

The full name is Karl Heinrich Marx or usually called Karl Marx, was born in Trier Germany on May 5, 1818, he is an expert in many subjects such as philosophers, economists, historians, political theorists, sociologists, journalists and even he became a socialist revolutionary pioneer .

Karl Marx who did not have a nationality after 1845 but Marx had 4 residences in Germany, France, Belgium and the United Kingdom, Karl Marx was born into a middle class family to his parents Heinrich Marx as father and Henriette Pressburg as mother, still doing formal education at several addresses such as the University of Bonn, the Humboldt University of Berlin and the University of Jena.

Marx also has wife Jenny Von Westphalen and has 7 children. Coincidentally on March 14, 1883, Karl Marx died at the age of 64 at the Tomb of Karl Marx, Highgate Cemetery, London, England, United Kingdom.

Not many people know that in fact, Marx in most of his life had many health problems. The problem is related to rheumatic diseases, headaches and heart disease.

After his death, Karl Marx can indeed be considered as one of the most influential figures in human history and his work can be both praised and criticized.

Even the works or thoughts and movements of Karl Marx were great in Indonesia from the thoughts of Indonesian heroes who used the ideology of Communism/Socialism such as H.O.S Tjokroaminito, Tan Malaka and even Soekarno who indirectly supported the Nationalist Religious Communist movement (NASAKOM) and in 1955 in the era of The Old Order, the communist-leaning political party movement, was once the largest party in Indonesia.

His work in economics formed the basis for much of today's understanding of labor and its relation to capital, and later of his economic thought.

Several intellectuals, trade unionists, artists and political parties around the world were influenced by the work of Karl Marx with some modifying or adapting his ideas.

Even though his thoughts grew big during the conditions of the second world war and the cold war until they collapsed around 1991, but for now his ideology or ideas are still used in various countries such as North Korea, Vietnam, China and Laos.

Although in Indonesia the ideology or thought of Karl Marx was frozen by TAP/MPRS/XXV/1966 regarding the prohibition of activities to spread or develop ideas or teachings of Communism/Marxism/Leninism, but Article 3 especially regarding scientific study activities such as at universities or colleges can be learned in order to secure Pancasila and even required to provide for the security of the Indonesian state.

Marx's theories of economic and political society are collectively understood as the ideological understanding of Marxism which states that humankind develops through class struggle.

During his life, even though Karl Marx was deported from year to year from various countries, Karl Marx regularly wrote thoughts and published books or research to newspapers, such as the controversial work of Karl Marx, Feuerbach's Thesis (1845), Philosophical Poverty (1847), Work - Wages and Capital (Marx, 1847), Manifesto of the Communist Party (Marx, 1848), Wages Prices and Profit (Marx, 1865), Das Kapital I/Das Kapital II/Das Kapital III (Marx, 1867 – 1894).

From the explanation of this famous work, there are also movements of Karl Marx such as Paris (1843-1845) Paris was the heart of European politics in 1843, Karl Marx who became one of the editors of a new radical left-wing Paris newspaper, thus issuing Manuscripts. Economics and Philosophy in 1844, the work focused on a critique of materialism for contemplative and idealism to explore the practice of theory after that the results of the collaborative work between Karl Marx and Engels published the work The Holy Family (1845), later Karl Marx moved to Belgium after being expelled from France while writing very radical writings.

. The following movement Brussels (1845-1848) Karl Marx and his friend Engels began their most famous work creating a program of action for the Communist League and publishing the Communist Manifesto containing the history of all societies which hitherto was the history of the class struggle.

The program of the Communist Manifesto presented the argument for the Communist League against political parties and socialist and liberal groups.

In 1846, Marx founded the Communist Correspondence Committee in an effort to connect socialists from all over Europe, after the publication of the Manifesto of the Communist Party in 1848, Karl Marx was expelled from Belgium, and moved to London, although England did not accept his citizenship, but Karl Marx remained in London, England until his death.

In the end, from youth until the death of Karl Marx, today's people never stop defending or criticizing Karl Marx's thoughts, how his ideology and thoughts have become winners or losers are still remembered and studied, there is no frustration in learning so that his deep and deep theories the weight easily still goes into the beliefs of individuals or groups.

As a spread that is spread everywhere and grows and falls, then Marxism continues to thrive everywhere. The last article by Michael H Hart about the Hundred Most Influential Figures in History (1987) noted that Karl Marx was named the most influential figure in the world at number 27 in the field of the mass movement of communism – socialism.

However, it did not stop until the time of his death, although there were times when Marx learned from the ideas of other philosophers and he thought they were good and right, Marx's thoughts still did not escape criticism of the ideas he admired.

Criticism then brought Marx to the affirmation of the most influential theories so far beyond the philosophers whose ideas, thus making people implement and even believe in it as like as religion.
