Karl Marx and communism

Karl Marx was a German man who created and enforced the idea of communism. communism is basically a system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people. Marx basic idea was to make the workers equal to the owners, since they did most of the work. He made work easier for them. in this way there are no specific owers, they all own the factories. no matter what job you have you will be paid the same as the guy next to you. Marx believe that this was the best way for everyone to be equal. his method worked, but not for long. He beived the worker were the "good guys" and the owners were the "bad guys".
