communist movement

The communist movement advocates for a society where resources and means of production are owned collectively, aiming to eliminate class divisions and inequality. Originating from ideas by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it seeks a classless system where wealth is distributed based on need. Historically, communist movements have sought to establish governments that implement these principles, often through revolutionary change. While aiming for social and economic equality, implementations have varied, sometimes leading to authoritarian regimes. Overall, the movement's core goal is to create a society based on shared ownership and cooperation, reducing disparities and promoting collective well-being.
