Karl Marx was a German whos ideas made a change in history. Karl Marx didnt like what he was seeing at the industrial revolution. The system of it and especially child labor, he says that they were all controled by religion. He brainstormed all of his ideas together and came to a conclusion that there are more workers than lanlords and bosses. This means that since there are more workers than owners then the workers are the ones who should control everything.
Thats when Karl brought communism. Communism is when the state is as one and everybody shares there wealth and social high classes. People started printing out these ideas and started handing it out on the street. People liked it and started getting interested. Today there are some communist places like cuba and north korea, (Russia used to be).

Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution
Karl Marx was a German-Jew who's ideas made a difference in Russia. His ideas were known as Communism. He thought that workers should control the factories instead of the landlords. Also he did not like the harsh and bad treatment/conditions that workers worked in and he thought they should stand up for themselves and unite.
Marx wrote that wealth should be distributed "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." Even though Karl Marx died in 1833, this ideals spread. Marx's theory was the Marxist Dialectic, and believed that change would come through revolution. He wanted social change but they did not have the power. Karl Marx was a major influence on workers movements.
