Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx felt that the Industrial Revolution created a harsh and unsafe environment factory workers, which were adults and children as young as the age of six. He felt that ,since the workers do all the work, they should own the factories rather then the Factory owner. He thought that workers of the world should unite and revolt against the owners. He felt that it was strictly unfair for rich to get richer and poor to get poorer. His observation of the revolution sickened him to the point where he was inspired to form a new one, communism. Under communism no one is rich or poor, everyone shares the same class of living. Everybody is treated as an equal, nobody had private ownership, and all the workers received the same pay. This government created an equilibrium for the working class since everyone would be in the working class, however, this is only in theory.
