Communism emerged as a political ideology in 19th-century Europe, significantly influenced by the Industrial Revolution and the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Ideas resembling communism, such as communal ownership and egalitarianism, can be traced back to ancient Greece and early Christian communities.
The first attempt to implement communist ideas on a state level occurred in Russia with the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, led by Vladimir Lenin. Lenin adapted Marx’s ideas into Marxism-Leninism, involving a Vanguard party leading a proletarian revolution and establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat. The Soviet Union became the world's first self-declared socialist state in 1922, influencing many other countries throughout the 20th century.
Lastly, communism originated from a combination of historical ideas of shared property and revolutionary politics aimed at ending class division, with its modern form primarily shaped by Marx and Engels in response to the social inequities of 19th-century Europe.
