Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolutuion.

Karl Marx did not like the Industrial Revolution. He felt that the workers should have more power than they did. Since there were alot more workers than owners, why shouldn't they? He wanted to start a revolution, hence the quote 'Workers of the world unite.' The working conditions in the factory were harsh and dangerous. The pollution shortened people lives who lived nearby. Marx had a theory that the only way there was going to be a change of power, was by a revolution. Marx invented a new system called communism. This theory is also known as Marxist Dialectic.

The Industrial revolution influenced him to invent communism, an improved and classless society. However, it wasn't for the benefits of everyone. Mostly just the factory owners. Marx saw that the Industrial Revolution was making the rich richer, and the poor poorer. He didn't like the fact that there were tons more workers than owners, and that the workers had extremely low wages. His idea of communism would have everyone working for the same amount of money, and society would produce only what it needed. Also, he thought that everything should be owned by the government, and that no one could have private ownership of anything.
