These were the famous first words of a pamphlet created by Karl Marx. When he first created his pamphlet The Manifesto of the Communist Party, he had hoped that his idea of equality would be so massive that entire countries would use it, but it went above and beyond what he had hoped.

Wars would be fought about it  and people would die fighting for and against it. He wanted equality between the middle class and the working class (Proletarians and Bourgeois, respectively) because of the many economic problems in European countries like England. His idea boomed, making him one of the most well-known, loved, hated, and respected men in history.LifeEarly Life Born (1818- 1883).

He rejected idealism and turned to materialism.Early WorkHe became the editor of Rheinische Zeitung, but was suppressed because of his views (Karl Marx 1).
