Vladimir Lenin was greatly influenced by the writings of Marx and Engels which led him to bringing communism to Russia. When speaking of major leaders in major countries, we cannot forget Mao Za-Dong of the Peoples Republic of China. ( note, I've seen various spellings of Mao's surname )
The major problem, however,was that they all twisted Marx's ideas to benefit themselves. True Marxists such a Leon Trotsky were either marginalized or executed.
Vladimir Lenin, the leader of the Bolshevik Party in Russia, partially based his rule on the ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. He was instrumental in establishing the world's first Communist state in 1917 after the Russian Revolution.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
Karl Marx, who - along with Frederich Engels - wrote The Communist Manifesto.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels are normally considered to be the creators of the socialist system. This was done based on the thoughts and ideas of many others
Karl Marx believed that capitalism should be destroyed because he felt that it would lead to the exploitation of the Proletarians (the have-nots) by the Bourgeoisie (the haves). Karl Marx was a socialist. Needless to say, I think he was right.
No. He was based on Friedrich Paulus, leader of the German Sixth Army. He was captured, not assassinated, after surrendering to the Russian Army.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels are credited with formulating the principle of class struggle in their works on Marxism. They argued that society is divided into different social classes based on their relationship to the means of production, and that these classes are in constant conflict with each other.
Marx and Engels viewed history as a series of class struggles, with societal development driven by conflicts between opposing economic classes. They believed that history was shaped by material conditions and the struggle for power between the ruling class (bourgeoisie) and the working class (proletariat). They argued that the ultimate goal of history was the establishment of a classless society based on common ownership of the means of production.
Communism and socialism are largely based on the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Their most influential book, The Communist Manifesto, laid out the principles of communism and critiqued capitalist societies. Marx's later work, Das Kapital, developed a comprehensive critique of capitalism and proposed a vision of a classless, stateless society based on communal ownership of the means of production.
The idea of communism was originally based on the ideas and writings of Karl Marx and Friederich Engels. Link below:
