This has led young people to associate him with revolution.His long beard has made him a symbol of the classic philosopher.

Marx is more likely to be quoted than studied in depth.Plenty of people know the famous lines，notably The Communist Manifesto's climax：“Workers of the world，unite！You have nothing to lose but your chains.”

In today's Western countries，Marx has become a cool fashion statement for younger generations.

“It is not unusual to see people wearing T-shirts with a hammer and sickle design on them these days，”says James.“But then how many of these people actually go out and vote for the Communist Party？”
