After reading about communism, one can truly grasp the differences between a capitalist society, like our own and a Communist one. Communism is defined as "a classless society in which all wealth and property would be owned by the community as a whole" (Ellis 210). Researching the founders, history and main characteristics of communism could certainly open the eyes of a close-minded believer of capitalism.
Communism was founded by Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels during the second half of the 19th century. In 1844, the men got together and, in doing so, came to the realization that they shared similar beliefs and principles of government (Communism and Computer Ethics). The two believed that this form of government, which came to be known as communism, was the most logical form. They thought that communism would ultimately do the most good for the world and its human inhabitants.
