Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx was a German man. He opposed the industrial revolution. Marx did not like the way people were treated. He also did not like their wages. He stated that their wage was much to short for the price of the merchandises that were being made. This happened because capitalists made profits of what was sold. he hated how the rich got richer and the poor got poorer.Marx tried to show that one economic class oppressed the another. He thought that there should be a new class that can overthrow the current class and this class was communism. He believed that communism was the answer and the people who were with it understood the class struggle best.
