Marx disliked the Industrial Revolution, which he had called capitalism. He thought the conditions in the factories in Europe were too rough and dangerous for workers. He believed that instead of the factories should be owned by the workers themselves and not landlords. He thought that people were born into a world where they can't make changes in society. That was a problem. He urged the workers to unite and break free of this hold and change society for themselves and become an individual. He believed that when one was born that there pathway in life was already chosen and one had to break free off all the laws, and religion that bind that person in with the rest of the world.
When he told everyone to unite a new term was given to this movement. It was called communism. Communism derives from the word "common." For everyone in the world should be a separate individual and be the same in each way no matter what gender or age. When capitalism would be taken down by this revolution the money workers made would be equal amongst one another depending on what he did and how much he needed it. In the end his "utopia would be a place where there are no social classes and workers were individuals in society.
