Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx was a German philosopher who lived during the 19th century. He was known for the creation of communism. He created communism because he believed that capitalism was going to fail and be replaced by another economic system just like feudalism before it. He believed that industrialization and capitalism were driven by the exploitation of workers. He did not agree with the way workers were treated for their small payments. He decided to make an economic system in which people had full freedom. In this type of society, people would be in conditions in which there would be no need for exploitation and where everyone would a fair share of products. He believed that in order for this society to be realized, a class struggle will have to take place with the working class having a victory and a communist society would established.
