Karl Marx and the Industrial Revoultion

Karl Marx considered the Industrial revolution to be a time period that would only lead to disaster. He was dismayed by the treatment of workers in Europe. The factory conditions were harsh and unsafe. He thought that the workers should control the factories and farms rather than the landlord.
Communism is a word formed from common. Karl Marx believed everyone should have a common wealth. He thought people should be paid by their abilities. The Industrial Revolution inspired Marx to create communism because he was upset at the treatment of workers. He felt there should be equality and equal distribution of payment. The workers do all the work and Marx felt they deserve better. Karl Marx wanted o be the one to change that and so he created Communism.
