Karl Marx and The Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution was an important event in history which led us into the modern world we live in today. It had positive and negative effects and people all had different views and opinions on it. Karl Marx was a man who wasn't much in favor of The Industrial Revolution. Marx looked down on the way industrial workers were treated, conditions of factories, pollution that these factories gave off and he also believed that the power should go to workers in these factories instead of landowners or landlords. He inspired a world wide revolution for workers. Karl Marx's ideas would later go on to create communism which was used in many countries but didn't exactly work. Some countries today still use communism like Cuba.
