explain Karl Marx's idea of Communism. What exactly is Communism? Why did Marx want Communism to take over the world? Who did Marx see as the "good guys" and who did he see as the "bad guys"?
Communism is an economic and political system based on the principle "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need. Marx hated the idea of Capitalism. He hated how the rich became richer and the poor became poorer. He liked the idea of communism because it allowed for equal rights among the people, and the system in place of factory owners getting all the money along with other influential people would finally end. He expressed his points of view and his ideas of communism to the workers, and other poor or middle class people. Many people loved the idea of communism, because this way, they would finally get the rights they longed for. Marx hated the Industrial Revolution, he wanted Communism to be world wide, because this way not only the people of England would have what he thought were equal rights, but everyone else world wide would be able to enjoy what he thought was the best way of life. Marx was truly a man, who was for the people, he always thought in the best interest of the people even though it meant putting in place a system which is so controversial as communism is. Marx saw the low class, working people or the factory workers as the "good guys". This was because they were for his idea of communism and he viewed them as the "victims" of capitalism, always left out, and never being able t advance or better themselves. Karl Marx viewed the factory owners and the people of high power as the "bad guys", because of all the power they had and because they were capitalist. He viewed them as bad guys, because they abused their power over the factory workers, and used Capitalism in their favor to make more money.
