Marx's ideas were that of pure equality. He wanted a world where everyone was equal. His theories, while impractical because of the nature of man, were truly "good". His ultimate goal was to eradicate poverty. The communists took his basic tenet of equality and perverted it into everyone is equal under the government.

Communism

Marxs philosophical basis of communism was called dialectical materialism. This briefly purported to claim that ideas were secreted by the brain and thus no inner soul or deity had anything to do with thoughts and the implementation of thoughts and ideas. Therefore the human being was the product of pure science and human beings were the final judgement to what was wrong and what was right. Marx said that religion was the opiate of the people. Nothing supersedes the human thought process.

The first answer to this question is a bit off. Under Communism there was no governments. To get to this utopia first required a revolution among the working classes which would govern as the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

Clearly this had to mean that every nation would participate. A dissenting nation, with an army would screw the entire plan up. Sorry about the last phrase there. Its a bit non philosophical.

To continue dialectical materialism is a discarded philosophy sitting in the dustbin of ideas.
