200th birthday anniversary of Karl Marx today

[pieter1012]

Although Marxist ideology led to the death and suffering of hundreds of millions of people, we may remember, on the 200th anniversary of his birth on 5 May 1818, that he was not responsible for the atrocities committed in his name. However, with his writings, he did dramatically alter the course of history. One legacy is also the highest DDR order that was named after him. On this anniversary, I like to show the Karl Marx Order I have in my collection. It is the second version, with the marking 900.

Regards, Pieter
