Intended for layman and academic, seasoned minds and younger souls, this book explores the fundamental aspects of the nature of communism and its enigmatic patron Karl Marx.
Using numerous eyewitness accounts, an attempt is made to reconstruct the multifacetous Marx: writer, poet, prophet, philosopher, historian, economist, husband, father, teacher, leader, friend and foe, as we observe his course of life in a world that he – at all costs – sought to change.
Next, Deconstructing Karl Marx & Communism sets out to find genuine answers to questions still puzzling the world today: what is communism really? What is its relation to the so-called communist dictatorships? Why did real communism never exist?
And most importantly: can it exist?

For why would a proletarian revolution, once it came to power, decide to implement communism’s basic requirements: communal government, the abolition of the division of labour, and the abolition of private property? Really, what would be the workers’ motivation to implement these abstract theoretical constructs?
