Karl Marx and Communism

Communism is abolition of private property, meaning that resources and production are owned in common by the people. Communism was made by Karl Marx because he wanted everyone to be payed the same amount. Karl Marx didn't like the ideas of capitalism because he thought that capitalism contained the seeds to its own destruction.He said that communism was the inevitable end to the process of evolution begun with feudalism and passing through capitalism and socialism. A way for Karl Marx ideas to be passed on around the world to start this type of revolution was that he started writing books about his ideas, started communist groups and went to every socialist meeting he heard about to argue his point for communism. Marx called the trade owners or known as the "Boss" as "BOURGEOISIE" a french word meaning the social class and he called the "Workers" as "PROLETARIAT" a french word meaning the wage labourers.
