Karl Marx and Communism

Communism was created by Karl Marx. Communism is a system in which the government controls it's people. This government would be made up of the working class, the proletariat. He believed that the majority should win. This was all the factory workers who were treated badly. He thought that why should the factory owners get all the power when there are more workers. He said that the Industrial Revolution was a return of the Feudalism. That the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

He said that capitalism was evil. This was because in the system of capitalism only the rich could even afford the capitals. This was a rich man's world. The other reason Marx believed that the system of Capitalism was bad is because of the fact that the rich have the power. Under Communism the people all had the same pay and were treated as equals. This also meant that they didn't have any property that was there's. The government owned everything and this was so that on one feels better than someone else. The system of Communism still exists today but not in the traditional sense that Marx had in mind.
