Karl Marx argued in his writings such as his major work, "The Communist Manifesto," that to end the injustice and inequality of the bourgeoisies and the exploitation of the proletarians a new economic system must be formed. He argued that this new system must be based more on the community and less on the rights of the individual and the protection of private property. Karl Marx argued for the creation of a communist system whereby the means of production and the ownership of property would be moved from private individuals to that of the state so that the benefits could be spread throughout society.
