Karl Marx and Communism.

Karl Marx's idea of communism changed the way people lived. The Communist Manifesto (a famous work published in 1848) set principals in which communism was supposed to evolve from. Marx wanted communism to take over the world for the better. There would be a classless society. The Industrial revolution came with low wages, dangerous working conditions, and pollution. Marx saw that factory owners were getting more and more rich, whereas the workers stayed poor.

To Karl Marx, the good guys were the factory workers, and the bad guys were the owners. The workers were doing nothing wrong, there was just too many of them. But that's the point. Since there were so many more workers than owners, why should they be treated the way they were? The owners were the bad guys because they received most of the money, and they weren't the ones working. Communism would change all of this. Everyone would make the same amount of money, and no one would be able to own property. Everything belonged to the government.
