Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution

The way Karl Marx felt about the Industrial Revolution was that it was bad. He didn't like the way the factory workers were being treated, because European factories were very harsh & an unsafe place. He argued that workers should control the factories & farms, rather than their landlords.

The Industrial Revolution inspired Marx to create Communism by how he wanted the workers of the world to unite & form a worldwide revolution. The workers would share wealth in the communist society. He said that wealth should be distributed according to his abilities & his needs. He believed that workers could control government.
