Karl Marx and Communism

Karl Marx was the man who thought of the idea of communism. He thought that the majority of the people who are the working class should get most of the power. He saw that the factory owners kept getting richer and with that the workers got less even though they are doing most of the work. This happened a lot in the time of the industrial revolution. The government would have been made up of the working class getting complete equality. He wanted his plan to be enforced all over the world because in other places it was worse than it was in where he lived. On paper this seems like a great plan but the thing with complete equality is that someone will want more than the others around them and find a way to get more. Karl Marx saw that the workers were the good guys and the rich were the bad guys. Today there are forms of communism but im sure that was not the original plan that Karl Marx had in mind.
