Karl Marx and The Industrial Revolution


          Karl Marx was a political philosopher. He hated the industrial revolution, he hated the child labor, he hated the long working hours, he hated the filthy slums, and he didn't like that the boss's took advantages over the workers. 
         Friedrich Engels wrote the communist manifesto in 1848 which attack capitalism with all its negative aspects. Marx liked the fact that as a result of the industrial revolution factories could produce more and more of goods for a cheaper price. Marx argued that the workers should take control of the important parts of the economy. He believed in a worldwide revolution.
