Karl Marx and Communism

          Karl Marx wrote "The Communist Manifesto." He believed a class less society. Communism is a system where everyone is suppose to be equal and that no one would take advantage of anyone else. Before you reach this part, Marx believed that there would be a class trouble between the workers(proletariat) and the bosses(bourgeoisie). He believed religion was like a drug that people became addicted to and made them quiet.         

         In January 1846 Marx set up a Communist Correspondence Committee. The plan was to try and link together socialist leaders living in different parts of Europe. Influenced by Marx's ideas, socialists in England held a conference in London where they formed a new organisation called the Communist League
