The political ideology that seeks to create a classless society is communism. Originating from the theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the mid-19th century, communism advocates for the abolition of private property and the establishment of a classless, stateless society where the means of production are collectively owned. Marx argued that capitalism inherently led to class struggle and exploitation. The ultimate goal was to achieve a society where goods and services are distributed according to need rather than wealth, fostering equality among all individuals. This ideology became the foundation for several 20th-century political movements and regimes.
