What is Karl Marx the founder of?

Answer 1

Marx is generally considered the founder, or father, of modern communism. He would probably deny paternity, because the communism in place today is not the communism he envisioned. According to Marx communism would come about through economic forces, whereas communism today came about through political forces. This was Lenin's influence. Per Marx, there would be no state, or government. It would wither away being unnecessary. Communist countries today have super powerful governments. This was Stalin's influence. In addition, there would be no such thing as private property; however in most communist countries the state is the owner of most property.
