One of the greatest men who ever lived. I shudder to think how the world would be without his influence.

(It would be a sight bloody worse than it is already, in other words.)

What do you think about Karl Marx?

Like most, if not all idealists, his ideals didn't and won't work in the reality of the world.

Ya but his Idea(l)s DID change the world. That pretty much puts a lot of what you say about philosophers to shit now don't it?

No, not really. I agree his ideals changed the world, but as we know now from history, it was changed for the worse! I ain't so sure I'd be proud of that if I were you.

He was an extremely influential thinker--one of the most influential of the 19th century. While he was certainly wrong about some things, he was also very perceptive about others. I think it's wrong to say he had no understanding of human nature--his analysis of the capitalist psyche is very perceptive--I think his problem arises more from believing his theories had a scientific basis and were not just "utopian" (a very derogatory adjective as far as Marx was concerned).

He was deluded with visions of utopia which just ain't possible with the greedy people we have in society today.

that's it exactly, you have to change the society ways, so you can change the people.
you can't say about anything that it is today like it was yesterday, that means it changes, so we have to understand the way that it changes, then find away to change it into a good thing.
