Karl Marx and Communism

Karl Marx was an German philosopher that created the idea of Communism. He didn't agree with the conditions of the workers in Europe. He thought that the workers had more powers over the landlords and they should unite in a world revolution for Communism. Communism is when the goverment controls everything and the people have no control over the government, those who went against communism were treated harshly. He wanted communism to take over the world because he wanted everyone to be controlled by the government and everyone to have equal amount of money paid and equal work hours. Marx saw the workers as the good guys and he saw the owners as the bad guys because he thinks that the workers have more power over the owners, number wise.

Karl Marx and The Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx born on May 5th, 1818 as a Jewish, German. Karl Marx created communism. He didn't like the idea of Industrial Revolution because he thought it wasn't fair for everyone. He didn't like the idea that one person would work less than some one else and they would be payed the same amount of money, sometimes the person that works less gets payed more. This led him to create communism which is still around in today's world. Karl Marx created communism because he thought everything should be equal. Communism is controlled by the government and everyone gets the same payment, same work hours and you are limited to what you buy. Although communism is not fair for the people, it is still around, but hopefully it will end soon.
