Karl Marx was borna jew, and his father had converted his family to Christianity so they could get a job. He didnt believe in god. Workers were controlled by religion, and he said "religion is the opiate of the peolpe." Marx had died in 1883. As for his ideas that formed in 1917. Mongolia had become the second communist nation in 1921. By the end of the war (world war II) many governments were overthrown by communists. He was mad that the people who worked in factories in Europe were being treated unfaer. The conditions in the factories were unsafe. He thought that the works instead of landlords should be the ones to control the factories, and also control the farms. He had works unite all over the world to fight for their rights. Karl Marx wrote "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." He wrote this to show what wealth should have been. Marx's ideas were not used bycommunist countries.
