Karl Marx and communism

Karl Marx was a guy that didn't agree with the industrial revolution. He came up with the idea of communism. He thought that workers should be paid the same amount of money. That means if you work as a doctor, and you live in a communist country, then you would get paid the same amount of money as someone working as a cashier. Karl Marx believed that capitalism and socialism was bound to fail. 

He wanted communism to rise around the world because he thought communism was better than socialism and capitalism. To him the good guys were the factory workers who worked long hours at minimum wage. They knew that they were being mistreated and they should be paid the same amount as everyone else. The bad guys to him were the owners of businesses, mostly factory owners. He thought they were the bad guys because they controlled everything and they got paid more than the workers and they dont do as much work as the factory workers. Communism might have been a good idea in his mind but when you actually put the idea into work, it doesnt always work out the way you plan it. Thats why the countries that seem to follow communism ideas, usually dont last. They convert into what we have here in the United States, capitalism or socialism.

Karl Marx and The Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx didn't like how workers were treated. He says that the conditions in the factories that they worked in. The factories were unsafe and harsh.  Karl Marx didn't agree with the treatment of workers in the industrial revolution. Which is why he came up with the idea of communism.  Karl believed that workers should unite as one and sort of rebel and not take the treatment from the factories in which they worked in. In his idea of communism, workers would share the money they made among other "communist" people. The money would be distributed among the people based on what they worked for and what they needed it for. 

He ended up dying in 1883.  He got inspired by the way workers were treated in the factories. Communism still lived on after he died. People after Karl Marx expanded on the idea of communism which is what we know today.
