Karl Marx and Communism

Communism is when everyone lives in an equal. Everyone has equal pay no matter what job they have. Communism took over the world becuase people thought it would be a good idea. Some people worked hard for little pay and some people did nothing for a lot of pay. People didnt think that was fair so they believed in Karl Marx idea. Karl Marx saw that the working conditions of people were bad. They had to do dnagerous jobs with no sleep and food. He thought that the workers were the "good guys" and the rich people or factory owners were the "bad guys".

Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx did not like the Industrial Revolution. He felt that the working conditions in the factories were un safe for the workers. He urged for people all over the world to unite in a big revolution. Marx had his own ideas and his idea was called Communism. Communism is when workers share the wealth in a communist society. He Belelieved that money should be distributed "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."

The Industrial Revolution inspired Marx because he thought the workers were treated unfairly. He thought that the rich got a lot of money for no reason and that the common people got a little bit of money for a lot of work. he didnt think this was fair. He thought that everyone should share money and get equal amounts.
