Karl Marx and The Industrial Revolution
Karl Marx didn't like the Industrial Revolution since working conditions in factories were harsh and unsafe. Karl Marx thinks that workers should control the factories rather than land owners and that the wealth should go to the workers. He also didn't like the fact that the workers had no power. The Industrial Revolution inspired him to create communism since one worker can't do much if all the workers unite they can take over the factory. The Industrial Revolution showed that workers weren't paid equally. The owner got the most and the workers got a small share of the profit. This led to him giving equal pay to all workers.
