Karl Marx and Communism

Karl Marx's idea of communism was that the workers would get the same amount of money as everyone else who had the same abilities. He had wrote a book with Friedrich Engels. The book was called "The Communist Manifesto". In it he had described his ideas of Communism. He believed that all the workers should unite and that they should control where they worked instead of the current owners. He believed that eventually the workers would have a revolution and that would be bad for the government. Communism is when everyone gets the same amount of power and wealth, no matter who you were. In communism the government controls everything. Marx had wanted communism to take over the world because he wanted everyone to have the same things so it would be fair and not a certain amount of people to get more power and wealth than anyone else. Marx saw the Proletariat as the "good guys". They were the working class. He saw the bourgeoisie as the "bad guys". They were the ones who controlled production.
