When he worked he thought it was unfair, unsafe and very harsh how the land owners and bosses at jobs treated the workers. Soon after he was dismayed by the workers in Europe. From there on he tried to get workers to join and fight back the people of High Ranking and class. He felt workers rather than owners should control the land and farms, all of his ideas is know as Communism.

Communism is when people beleive everything should be equal when things isn't. He fought for the rights of the workers. The ideas of Marx were not used in the communist countries. Marx believed that workers would control government, but communist governments was very strict. Workers were often forced to work on huge farms and factory. In most Communist nations, the press was un-useful in the case of talking about the government. They were not allowed to print news stories that criticized the government. People who spoke out against the Soviet government were treated horribly. Karl Marx died in 1883, but his ideas lived on.

His ideas help start the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 and 4 years later Mongolia became the second communist nation. At the end of WWII many govrnments were taken over by communist. Now in the world communism is still around in places such as Cuba or North Korea but all the communist have another thing in common. There flags mostly contain red.
