Marx's ideas were so important and infleuntial that they were named communism. He believed that workers had the power so they would control the government. During the Industrial Revoluution social classes were very important. He felt that the Industrial Revolution allows the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. The two different social classes were the bourgeoisie who were the landowners and the proletrait who were the workers .

Karl Mark and Communisim

Karl Marx saw that because of the Industrial Revolution the only people that were

moving forward and becoming rich were the owners of factories and businesses. The people

who worked long hours and under horrible conditions were getting no where. He believed that

everyone should have the same pay in other words equality.Karl Marx wanted Communism to

take over the world because he didn't like that peoples' jobs were unfair and the worker were

getting paid less. He saw the conditions of workers' jobs. He saw that since the workers work

so hard with less money, he saw them as the good guys and he saw the landlords and factory

owners as the bad guys because the way they treated the people that works really hard and they

were being greedy making more money.
