Karl Marx and Communism
Karl Marx was a very educated man he got his doctorate degree by the time he was 23. He met his lifelong friend Friedrich Engels. Marx moved to London to continue his studies. In 1883 Marx died. In 1848 his booked got published where it said "Workers of the world unite!" According to Marx capitalism was the seed of its on destruction. He believed that history was a struggle of the rich and the poor. Marx wanted everybody to share the same wealth but that didn't make any sense because some people didn't work as hard as others so why should they get paid for doing nothing and other people get paid for working as hard as they could I don't think he though about that part. What he tried to do was positive but he should of approach it a different way.
Karl Marx and The Industrial Revolution
Karl Marx had his own look on the Industrial Revolution. He did not like the Revolution at all. He felt like the rich was getting richer and the poor was getting poorer. He felt that the conditions of the factories was very harsh and unsafe. He wanted the workers of the world to unite and have and worldwide revolution. He also thought that wealth should be distributed. He thought that all people should get paid the same amount of money he also thought that the workers should run the factories instead of the landlords. All Marx wanted to do is have everybody treated the same he wanted factories workers to get treated the same as everybody else.
