Who Called For "Workers Of The World To Unite"?
Answers
Karl Marx (1818-1883) regarded as the Father of Communism called on Workers of the World to unite, with the next line being 'You have nothing to lose but your chains'. Another rallying cry of Marx was 'So long as there are two classes, the proletariat must agree, to set the working classes free'.
These and other cries to arms were contained within 'The Communist Manifesto' which was published in 1848. In this book he outlined how capitalism exploited the working class (the proletariat) and urged the proletariat to take radical action to overthrow capitalist leaders and ensure state ownership of everything. This, he felt, was the only way that wealth could be evenly distributed.
Communism actually means 'belonging to all' and Marx certainly felt that a Communist state would be a utopian one. Although China is still Communist and is far from a utopian state, it is unlikely that Marx would identify the style of Govenrment as what he had intended !

i agree communism is impossible because people are selfish with their own race and with other race and that lives in every race of people that is why we're not communist because its always someone tryin to be better than others period.
