Workers of the World Unite

Today's visit is to the house of Karl Marx.  Marx was born in Trier and lived there through his childhood.  Marx's father and mother were both Jewish but his father converted to the Lutheran faith when the government passed laws against Jews in 1815.

When Lenin started the Communist Party he used the ideas of Marx but added much more including the concept of violent overthrow of the capitalist system.  Marx's writings were against the idea of the capitalists gaining more and more money and power at the expense of the working people.  
Sound familiar?


Karl and I in the backyard

The house has been completely rebuilt and has a historical display of Marx' writings and philosophy and how his ideas were used and sometimes distorted over the years.

Of course after all this exposure to anti-capitalistic society, mom had to stop at a 1 Euro store to check out the latest exploitation of the proletariat.


Back to the hotel to meet our fellow travelers for a walk around the 'hood and a get acquainted dinner.

They seem like a good gang.  Two young couples who are probably thinking, 'How did we get hooked up with these old people?'
