"Karl Marx" - Assassin's Creed: Real History

For the tenth episode of “Assassin’s Creed: Real History” we'll discuss the history behind the controversial journalist, political economist and philosopher named Karl Marx.

If you have any topic requests for a future video, in which you would like me to research the real history and compare it to the game’s representation, please leave me a comment!

English subtitles are available for this video.

Topic Choice
Although this individual only appeared in a series of side missions within Syndicate, I thought it would be interesting to discuss his role in the period, and determine whether he was fairly portrayed in the game. I do apologize for the limited footage of Marx in the video.

Disclaimer
I am an amateur historian. History is not my official field of study, but rather a passion. This series acts as my hobby and as a way to share with you the real history behind characters, groups, events and locations that are depicted in the Assassin’s Creed video game series. Although I work hard to be as detail-oriented as possible, I am clearly not without fault and therefore welcome you to let me know whether you feel I have missed anything important or have misrepresented something in my video.
