Communism

Created by Marx and Engels when they were commissioned to write a manifesto for the League of Just Men ( Later became the League of Communists)

Marx argued that capitalism was ruining society by putting the emphasis on collecting material goods.


Marx believed that in order to correct this problem there needed to be a societal revolution led by the Proletariat (working man) against the Bourgeois (upper to upper middle class).

3 Major Steps of Communism

• Marx argued that there were three major steps that needed to occur in order to achieve a true communist society:

Step 1:

• Societal Revolution led by the Proletariat. That results with the Proletariat as the governing body.

Step 2:

• Wealth and land would be redistributed equally to all so that all people would be economically equal.

Step 3:

• Private property and government would cease to exist. People would be given tasks that were to benefit society as a whole.
