Karl Marx

He believed that capitalism would lead to destruction. Eventually, socialism would replace capitalism, which would be stateless and have no social classes. In other words, he believed that pure communism would eventually happen.

He wrote the Communist Manifesto, which stated that society is driven by conflict and that there are 2 different types of people: the have's and the have not's.
He believed that the have not's would start a revolution. These are the 5 steps that would make that revolution happen:
1. Become rich off capitalism
2. Have-not's will start getting angry and start rioting
3. A classless system will appear
4. The have-nots will redistribute the wealth
5. The government will wither away
