The Importance of Understanding Contradictions

Karl Marx was a student of the German philosophy professor George Hegel. Everything exists, says Hegel, in contradiction. When we organize ways of dealing with life we don't do it in some brilliant way that has no contradictions. If even that were possible we're just human being. So Marx is in no way unique by saying what's true for everything else that it's contradictory is true for the economic systems we organize.
