Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution

The industrial revolution was the starting point to capitalism. The industrial revolution meant workers slaving for low wages and land owners just enjoying their easily made money. The capitalist were gaining alot of power. Those terrible circumstances are what made Karl Marx change his way of thinking and the ways of people lives. Karl Marx hated the indurtial revolution and all it brought. He thought of capitalism as a catastophe. What Marx wanted to see was the workers gaining the power instead of capitalists. He thought that the workers sold themselves out. He urged the people to take a stand and over rule the government to his ideas. The unfair treatment of everything made him come up with communism. With communism his dreams would come true of a better and equal sociey.
