karl max and communism

Karl Marx, with the help of fellow economists Engel and Hegal, sparked a whole new idea for economics. He was born in Germany and wanted to become educated. Unfortunately, he was kicked out the countries he tried to learn at, including his own, for being a political radical. Ironically, he found freedom to learn and write in the central location of everything he was against, England.

Communism is the idea of everybody being equal. Social classes were now all the same and everybody was paid the same amount of money. The government controlled its people. Even thought Marks ideas were so strong and many people believed and supported it many communist countries didn’t use his ideas. Mark believed that workers would take over landowners and there government. He believed that factory workers could start a revolution and take over the factory owners since they had a higher amount of population.
