A hundred years ago the father of modern Communism died in north London. From his grave in Highgate Cemetery Karl Marx inspired the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, and even today he inspires revolutions the world over. The young Marx proclaimed, 'the philosophers have sought to interpret the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.'
