Communism is notable for the abolition of private property. It focuses on a classless society based on the common ownership of the means of production. This, according to Karl Marx can be achieved by the revolution of the Proletariats (the working class) against the Bourgeoisie (or those who have ownership of capital, and the means of production). Then dissolving the class structure entirely providing the aforementioned common ownership of property and the means of production. As Marx wrote in The Communist Manifesto, the problem with such a revolution is that historically, the old proletariat, once victorious, tends to become the new Bourgeoisie, thus the necessity of dissolving class structure and private ownership. Despite popular belief, Communism is more of an economic system than a political one, although certain political ideologies are inherent in any such system.
