Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution
Karl Marx didnt really like the Industrial Revolion, in fact he didnt like it at all. He saw the Industrial Revolution just an extended Feudalism, where peasants worked on the land and had very few money and the Nobles were keeping all the money they made. In the Industrial Revolution it was the same thing, the workers were the peasants and the factories owners were the nobles. To me the Industrial Revolution was worse than the feudalism in that matter, because work at the factories were dangerous with the machines around them if they werent careful. Karls Marx said that the workers just kept getting poorer and the rich....richer. So he came up with the Communism where everyone got paid the same and they all had to work. That gave the idea of everyone being "equal" but not many people listened to his idea, and the countries that did were soon on debt, because since people were getting paid the same amount of money every month then they didnt have a reason to work harder and make more money. Everything got more sloppy and not well made, leading the country in debt since no one wanted to buy or trade goods.
