Karl Marx and Communism

Karl Marx started communism, Communism is when the government controls everything there is, a single person who holds all the power of the country. If a country is communist then everyone in that country gets paid the same no matter what the job , no matter what your talent is. During the Industrial Revolution Many workers were taken advantage of. They would work many hours for an extremely low wage. Karl Marx thought this was wrong. He was strongly against the Industrial Revolution. Karl Marx would see a factory as all the workers doing all the work , while the factory owner is getting rich for jus sitting in his office. That is the reason he thought of communism.
