Karl Marx and Communism

Marx's idea of communism was to eliminate the social barriers of the rich and the poor. Marx wanted everybody to share the wealth, so government control would eventually fade away. Communism is a economic structure and idea that promotes the establishment of a classless society based on common ownership and control of corporations and property in general. Marx thought that capitalism was doomed to fail. He believed that the classes of society would clash and the lower-class citizens would rise up and take over. He thought it wasn't fair that the lower-class workers worked more and more for less and less money, while the upper-class got paid more for doing less.
