Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.
Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.
Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.
Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.
Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

Mothers day working a kitchen report : brunch was easy as hell cause for the 4th year in a row, maybe more since I've worked the brunch was massively over prepared for at the expense of dinner. Dinner was fuuuuucked. We had a new pos system installed a couple weeks ago and it sucks. Touch screens shouldn't be in kitchens. So there has been issues thst have been getting stomped and one recent one had to do with the pasta station, which is the only one with no screen and a printer with chits wasn't getting the apps relevant to thar station coming up. Upon changing this it reset all the pasta related shit to default. None of us knew this until a massive rush around 6pm, the brunch menu was a special limited one without pastas. So when the a ticket clears on the main food line which has a screen, they double click it and it changes color and goes to the top of my expo screen. Something happened where any orders fired that included a pasta didn't translate over to my screen. At the busiest time. So suddenly I have a wall of orders and a bunch of food I don't know what to do with and since the fucking screen auto organizes and I can't re-arrange tickets I'm finding the first things that seem to be in line with common items and then trying to find the matches to clear what seems like the next chits. Meanwhile stuff is still blasting in, by the time I notice something is fucked I have all of front of house talking to me, my co pilot on the main line freaking out cause she's noticed my situation is fucked and trying to solve my problems but won't stop talking Soni can figure out what it is and then the chef wants to know what the issue I'd when I say we gotta hold production for a second. 6 people are asking me questions I need them to shut the fuck up about in order to answer them. None of these people seemed to understand this. I literally deep voice yelled 'SILENCE!' like a Saturday morning cartoon villain, figured out the problem by having 15 seconds to actually look into it and then figured out the fixes and spent the next 30 seconds andswrr8ng everything and giving specific instructions to everyone and how to get back on track and everyone was asking for a fucking explanation as if we weren't now way behind on a crazy busy night. Like...I'll tell you after, I'm calling orders, doing expo, plating every dish, cutting and garnishing every pizza, part timing on oven salads and apps. The fucking computer is bad enough let alone it being weird at the exact worst time. Last thing I need is everyone asking me the same questions in sequence while I'm doing all thar flying blind and trying yo figure it out at the same time. Also the orders re-arrange themselves when something comes in so if you're clearing them when something comes in you'll click the wrong thing and have to go through a menu to recall. Buttering Jihad now plz.
