Karl Marx and Communism

Karl Marx was a very intelligant man. He lived during the industrial revolution, he believed that the "modren" world was seprated in 2 class. These classes competeed against each other but one thing is sure is that the poor will remain poor and the rich got richer. This was because Bourgeoisie, were the class of people that owned productions, and sold, the whole deal. Then there was the workers who were known as Proletariat. The work long hours punching the clock every day. The proletariats were like prostitute, they worked for any bourgeoise who piad them more money. The thoughts that came to Marx mind was that the were "doomed'' because there going to work all there life and not get successful. Instead they would get poor.
Marx had many beliefs about the industrail revolution. He believed that the industrail revolution was dehumanizing workers, because they were becoming more "Appendage to a machine." Marx also believed that the large companies take over companies, especailly the smaller ones. In Marx eyes he saw the industrail revolution and the Capitalism system as a none progressing system. To his beliefs he predicted that due to the many workers that one they the workers were going to out run the owners. They were going to have protest and in fact this became true.
This was when communism was formed. These people believed that everyone should get paid the same amount of money, only what is needed should be produced, everyone should get treated equal, and the end to social classes. Every business woulod be owned by the goverment.
Communism traveled as far as Russia. Marx was very inspiring to people, to try new things. Although communism was proven less affected than capitalism, there is still communist in many countrys today, such as Cuba, China, etc.
