Karl Marx and The Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx was born in May 5, 1818, he was a german philosopher. Marx worked in a factory before in Europe, but he was dismayed. Due to the factory conditions were said to be harsh and very unsafe. He was a Communist. He made up and wrote a book about " Communism ". He started it during the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution is when factories increased, including the pollution, many transportations has been created and many cities were growing. Communism is basically about equality to everyone, but with the control of the government.

Karl Marx didn't like the idea of Capitalism, where everyone works independently and people are treated differently. He thought that whole idea of Capitalism was unfair, so he thought his idea would benefit a lot of people. He was tired of the industrial revolution. He didn't like the conditions of it either. Though Communism is about equality, it was still a very strict government, and it failed. Theres still countries today that have communism, but only a few.
