Karl Marx and Communism


Communism is a worldwide society. It is a form of government developed by Karl Marx. Communism is when all people should be equal, meaning that private property, resources like plants, factories, oil, coal etc. should be owned in common by the government. Marx's ideas was that workers should be in control of factories and farms than owners. There are more workers than owners. He wanted all the workers in the world to start a revolution. Karl Marx wanted communism to be taken over the world because he didn't like the fact that workers were working in factories very harsh and unsafe. After Marx died, communism didn't really take over because of the government. They didn't want communism propaganda. A lot of countries were communists, but now the only ones that remain is Cuba, China, and North Korea.
