goal of communism complete equality and brotherhood as people live in peace and goodwill and this is what the world wants and this is what only communism can give now I will show you the origin of communism please the early 19th century brought to sharp relief the nature of the class war the Industrial Revolution brought misery to the exploited workers effectual survey in Great Britain on the conditions of home life was a catalog of rottenness and filth from such homes men women and children went to work long hours in mills mines and factories working with unfenced machinery and with no safety regulations under the constant threat of unemployment these workers were at the mercy of employers children six and seven years old they're forced to work 16 hours a day many of these children became deformed from this ruthless exploitation the government was controlled by the bourgeois that left only the churches who could speak out against the oppression of the workers but did the minister's preached against this injustice did the Christians work for better living conditions of the downtrodden the answer is no I read you the actual words of a minister named Townsend hunger is not only a peaceable silent unlimited pressure but as the most natural motive to industry and labor it calls forth the most powerful exceptions it seems to be a law of nature that the poor should be to a certain degree in Providence that there may be always some to fall through the most servile and the most ignoble offices in the community this was the sentiment of religion that inequality was a good thing that there should be those who were poor who were forced to work as slaves but while the government's and the churches promoted exploitation of the workers a man was studying long hours each day in the British Museum day after day for 13 years he studied and wrote the terrible plight of the working class driving him on his name was Karl Marx as you know it was in 1848 that he and Friedrich Engels drafted and published the communist manifesto in 1867 he completed the first volume of capital analyzing the working of the capitalist system in 1888 in Russia a young man began studying capital and joints a Marxist study circle in Kazan he was leaning the first man able to understand fully the teachings of Marx and apply them to a practical situation leading the glorious
