Karl Marx and Communism

Karl Marx was considered the father of communism. His most famous analysis of history is the summed up opening of the The Communist Manifesto: "The development of Modern Industry, therefore, cuts from under its feet the very foundation on which the bourgeoisie (The capitalist class)produces and appropriates products. What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable." What this shows is his hate for the capitalists who made money off of the poor workers. Although communism isn't a good idea Marx's ideas were.
