yeah, he is, iirc, partly/mostly responsible for the creation of the communist party; the author of the communist manifesto is the creator of that party. it gives down a set of ideas that make it so social standings and the class system are wiped out, where everyone gets exactly what they NEED. NEED, as in, im a single mother of 3 and i cant afford food -- "where here ya go mam, food for you, and each of your children, for xx days." it was a revolutionary idea, but never had gained much popularity (POSITIVE) because the people in charge of the newly founded communist nations were not true communists. they were greedy, and took more for themselves and gave less to the people. look at china, and you will see proof. its not a bad idea, but human intervention makes it flawed.
