Communism is a political and economic philosophy that gives the government power to control and regulate everything. There are two pieces of writing that communists often follow, which are The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Principles of Communism by Friedrich Engles. The main goal in The Communist Manifesto is inspire the common people to riot against the wealthy, upper classes due to the poor conditions they must live in and hopefully set the lower class free from the upper class's tyranny. Marx also wrote a text called Critique of the Gotha Programme and in it, he describes the two phases that would take place after communism takes place of capitalism. The first is that the working class takes control of the government and the economy.
