Karl Heinrich Marx was born on May 5th, 1818 in the city of Trier, Germany to a comfortable middle-class, Jewish family. His father, a lawyer and ardent supporter of Enlightenment liberalism, converted to Lutheranism when Marx was only a boy in order to save the family from the discrimination that Prussian Jews endured at the time. Marx enjoyed a broad, secular education under his father, and found an intellectual mentor in Freiherr Ludwig von Westphalen, a Prussian nobleman with whom Marx discussed the great literary and philosophical figures of his day. Notably, it was Westphalen who introduced the young

Chapter 3, "Socialist and Communist Literature," encompasses Marx's discussion of the relationship between his movement and previous or contemporaneous socialist movements. In this chapter he repudiates these other movements for not fully understanding the significance of the proletarian struggle. They all suffer from at least one of 3 problems: 1) They look to previous modes of social organization for a solution to present difficulties. 2) They deny the inherent class character of the existing conflict. 3) They do not recognize that violent revolution on the part of the proletariat is the only way to eradicate the conditions of oppression. Only the Marxist communists truly appreciate the historical movement in which the antagonism between the proletariat and bourgeois is the final act.

Born on 28 November 1820 in the German city of Barmen, Friedrich Engles was the eldest son of a textile manufacturer. Engels was slowly taken by Hegel and the Young Hegelian movement that flourished in the 1830. In 1842 Engels moved to England to work in his father's firm in the city of Manchester. Already a communist, his contacts with factory workers in England distanced him from the idealist Hegelians and convinced him of the proletariat's potential as a revolutionary class. He met and collaborated with Marx. Between 1845 and 1850 Engels collaborated with Marx on scholarly and practical political activities in Brussels and Paris. They both joined the German League of the Just (later renamed the Communist League) and coauthored the Communist Manifesto. After the 1848 Revolution Engles worked with Marx on the Neue Rheinische Zeitung. After a year's stay in France, Engles returned to Germany to help resist the counterrevolution before settling, in 1850, in Manchester to rejoin the family firm. Here he stayed until 1870, financially subsidizing Marx and continuing their scholarly and political collaboration. Engels retired in 1870, moved to London, and took over the daily operation of the First International from an ailing Marx. For the next decade or so Engels established his professional reputation as a major philosopher with works like Anti-Duhring, Origin of the Family, and Ludwig Feuerbach. When Marx died in 1883, Engles devoted himself to editing and publishing volumes two and three of Capital, as well as helping establish the Second International. Engels died on 5 August 1895 of cancer while working on the fourth volume of Marx's Capital, which was subsequently published as Theories of Surplus Value.
