Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx and Communism

Karl Marx didnt like the Industrial Revolution, he felt that the Inudstrial Revolution was unsafe, and dangerous. He argued with workers to go control the farms and factories and argued to make a "world wide revolution." Mark believed that wealth should be shared between the communist society, "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." He did not like the poverish life of factory workers so he wanted to take charge and change things. "Marx described communists as those who best understood the class struggle. They would unify the proletariat, lead it in the revolution, and take control of the government." He thought that the lower class understood pain, struggle, and suffering which would get them all together and make a revolution happen (take over the government).
