One can argue that the idea of communism has been taking place since the Nineteenth century. Who may you say started this movement? None other then Karl Marx. According to Marx, the finals step of being less ignorant was communism.
Communism is "a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state." To make things simple it is the belief that everyone is equal and everyone has the same things which the government passes out and protects..basically all forms of property belong to the government. Not only was communism in Europe but it was spreading all over Eastern Europe, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cuba, and Afghanistan. Basically what this system did was redistribute wealth and shut down the idea of social classes. Marx believed "man was cut off from ways of living" with ought communism. In 1847 Marx made the communist league which was an article based on how the working class was being taken advantage of, which set off the people. The articles addressed in communism were, the abolition of private property, no inheritance, steady of income tax, unification of people's money, and the expansion of factories, and equal responsibilities for all, as well as free education for children. Marx believed if these ideas happened, then the social class system would disappear. In October of 1917, a huge rebellion was formed against Russia's provisional government in which the lower class/ working class won. Which opened a whole new door for Russia.
