Really, it's such a war out there between the foul Capitalist profiteers and the slave driving Communist hordes. But there's a secret to both sides of the story that neither side will reveal.

Well, from the looks of thing, this looks like it's a progress to some utopia where all are equal. But... what conditions lead this Marx guy to come up with it in the first place?

Marx believed that history was a struggle between two conflicting classes; the rich, or bourgeoisie, and the poor, or proletariat. He believed that society was built on the rich oppressing and using the labor of the poor to create everything we know. His time period was one most commonly known for its industrial revolution...one where people worked in grinding poverty in factories while the rich profited from their hard labor. Ironically, his ideas finally took root after his own death. He died in 1883 and the first large, successful revolution by "the poor" took place in 1917. They created what you may know right now as the Soviet Union.

You know what they say. Things need to take a step back before they can jump forward. But for some, it was either grinding poverty in the field or in a factory. Most would choose a factory since they just might have some spending money.

Worried? It's simply a theory, nothing more.

Well, you see... I come from what you may call a developing society. Or maybe it's better to call it RE-developing.
