Karl Marx and Communism

Communism is a way of the government in which the state makes all goods equally shared by the people. This idea of government goes way back to the time of Karl Marx who was the first to come up with these ideas and the form of government. Karl Marx believed that the whole world should run under communism. He came up with the idea of Communism so the whole world can change. He believed that their should'nt be social classes were some people owned lands or had the most money. He visioned that all the people should all be the same. All the people would be the same in political rights, money wise, and social wise. No one would be different, no one would stand out. Marx wanted communism to take over the world for many reasons. He visioned his time period to be the same as the time of Fuedilasm. He viewed that in the time of the Industrial Revolution the people who were in higher social classes had the power over the people in low social class. He believed that it wasn't fair for many workers to keep struggle day by day to make little money while the factory owners & business men just stood back and waited for the money to get to them. He viewed the higher social class "Bourgoeisie" was in controll of everything. That class was made up of the factory owners, business men, and merchants. This class had all the money and power. The low social class was the Proltariat which was made up of workers. These workers worked in factories day and night makeing little money for themeselves but a lot of money for the factory owners. This is how Karl Marx viewed his time period. He believed that the people with money & power were the "bad guys" and the people with no power and very little money were the "good guys".
