Karl Marx and Communism

Karl Marx's idea of communism was for everybody to be equal. He wanted everyone to make the same amount of money and he wanted the people to govern themselves. Marx wanted Communism to take over the world because he thought the way everything in the world was going wrong. He thought that the people were being controlled by work and religion. Karl Marx thought of the workers like they were the "good guys" and the owners of the factories and other places of work as the "bad guys".
