Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution
Karl Marx was not a big fan of the Industrial Revolution. He hated it so much of some of the aspects of the Industrial Revolution that has changed human society. He disliked the working conditions in industrial factories which were very dangerous. Most of all, he disliked the fact that capitalists are gaining lots of money and political power while their workers are treated like garbage. Therefore Marx wanted to see changes to occur in the economic world. These changes include people getting enough money for their necessity in which was shared equally to everyone. There would be no private ownership of property; people have equal ownership of housing and business. There would be no capitalists becoming monopolies and give little money to workers. These economic ideas of equality are known as the ideas of Communism.
