Karl Marx and Communism

Karl Marx's idea of communism made peoples' feelings on how it was living in the industrial revolution. Karl Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto stating his ideas of communism and saying that the landlords should should not be controlling the workers as there was a majority of workers. He hated the fact that the poor were getting poorer, while the rich were getting richer. He believed that everyone should be paid the same.

He thought that capitalism was evil because the rich had all the power. To him the Bourgeois (Owners) were the bad guys as they barely did any work and became richer. The good guys then were the proletariat (workers) as they worked hard and were the majority in the population. He wanted all the proletariats of the world to unite and revolt against all the bourgeois.
