Karl Marx, founder of communism, is often labeled as a terrorist. Do you feel this is a correct assessment? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
• The author takes a position that Marx has historically been erroneously labeled as a terrorist given that Marx never sought for violent action to create change.
• Marx referred to "revolutionary" change, but he never clarified what he meant by revolution.
• Further, he did not advocate political bombing or assassination. In fact, on most occasions he publicly condemned it.
• He believed socialism was to be a reflection of democracy, not violence.
• A massive seizure of power by the general population might be justified, but individual acts of murder were not.
