Karl Marx and Communism

Karl Marx's ideas influenced so many people that they started calling it communism. Communism is when everyone is created equal in every aspect; including someones paycheck. The government at this point controlled all its people. He wanted a revolution to begin so the workers would have better rights. He believed that since there were more workers that they could gain control of the landowners and the government. In Marx's communism idea he had to different social classes the proletariat's (workers) and the bourgeoisie (landowners).

Karl Marx wanted communism to take over the world because he wanted everyone to enjoy this form of life, in complete equality. He thought that the good people were the "poor" because they worked hard to achieve everything they had. The bad people in his view were the "rich" because they pretty much abused the factory workers for their own wealth. He hated the fact of how badly the proletariat class was treated which were the workers. His idea of communism was for society to produce only what they needed. He wanted no one to have private ownership on their property, which meant that everything they had was the government's not theirs.
