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.
