Question

Who introduced concept of communism?

• A. Adam Smith
• B. Friedrich Engels
• C. Friedrich Hayek
• D. Karl Marx

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Karl Marx

The concept of communism was introduced by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the 19th century. Karl Marx (1818–1883) developed the theory of historical materialism and class struggle, arguing that capitalism would eventually be replaced by communism. Friedrich Engels (1820–1895) co-authored The Communist Manifesto (1848) with Marx, which outlined the principles of communism and the call for the working class to rise against capitalist systems. So, communism as a formal ideology is largely credited to Marx and Engels.
