Karl Marx, the founder of communism, believed that the working class (proletariat) should seize political power from the capitalist class (bourgeoisie).
He advocated for the abolition of private ownership of major resources and means of production.
The goal was to ensure that wealth and resources are collectively owned and distributed according to need.
These principles are central to The Communist Manifesto (1848), co-authored by Marx and Engels.
This captures the core of Marx’s revolutionary and socialist philosophy.
