To understand the failure of Communism, we must not look upon Marx and Lenin, but Lenin and Stalin.

Karl Marx was a revolutionary who brought Communism to light around the early 1800's, the 1840's and 50's to be exact. The idea was surprisingly simple, but even more surprisingly difficult to put into action. In all sixty five years of Marx's life, he never managed to bring a regime to power, however, his Manifesto, research papers and noted observations did not go to waste.
