Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Karl Marx is considered the father of communism, which is an economic system in which the means of production and property are owned and controlled by the community or the state, and wealth is distributed equally among all members. Marx believed that capitalism, in which private individuals own the means of production, created a class struggle between the bourgeoisie (wealthy owners) and the proletariat (working class) and would ultimately lead to its own downfall.
