As a philosopher Karl Marx was all "religion is the opiate of the people" and that we cannot be freed from religion until we gain full control over our labor and assert our communal nature. Also, he went very far to define labor and material and how their values can be derived from philosophy.

As an author Karl Marx moved from writing incredibly dense and academic treatises to writing easier-to-understand manifestos for the common man. Reading his works chronologically, you can learn a lot about the comparative advantages between academic-style writing and writing for the layperson. That said, he is not a particularly witty writer so much as a dry one, especially in translation. Not much can be gleaned if you are looking for more rich use of language. Perhaps if you read his original works rather than the translation they may be more instructive. At the very least, his writing can be an interesting way to explore written German.

As an economist/philosopher (for at the time the two weren't so easily distinguishable from each other) Marx wrote a lot about how the means of production was the driving force in human history. He is known as the father of communism, but honestly the communism he presented was 1) sparse on details as to how it might be run and 2) has not actually existed in the form Marx envisioned in the course of human history.

He focused a lot more of his energy on critiquing the economic models of his colleagues, and on the critique of capitalism as ultimately unsustainable.
