Communism

Karl Marx in his (in)famous magnus opus''Das Kapital'' stated that societies are in the midst of a process of evolution from less sophisticated and less fair, economic systems toward much brighter destiny . Having started off in feudal state, through mercantilism and modern capitalism, humanity would naturally improve, finally finding the best political system. Marx, argued that this system was communism.
The main principle of communism was that all property and means of production(factories,tools,raw materials,ect) should be owned by everyone. Private property should be erased. The rich with more capital become richer at the expense of the average worker. This is only the first stage since communism state should own and control all of the companies and institutions ensuring that companies do not use and oppress their workers. Then the state will ''Withdraw'' from its role and this will be the final stage of human society. Barriers between nations will dissolve.
According to Marx masses would overthrown their corrupted and oppressing governments to institute a new,fairer order.
