Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx did not like the Industrial Revolution. He was disapointed by the treatment of workers in Europe. The conditions in the factories were very harsh and unsafe. He desired for all workers of the world to unite and form a revolution. He wanted workers to control farms and factories instead of the landlords.

The Industrial Revolution inspired Marx to invent Communism as he despiced the way capitalism worked. He thought that workers were treated unfairly and in unsafe condition. The landlords became richer, while the workers became poorer; This made Marx unhappy and desired for all the workers to unite and form a revolution to control the farms and factories. He wanted workers to share wealth in this new idea of Communism. He wanted workers to have the power and everyone to be treated equally in Communism.
