Communism And The Industrial Revolution

The industrial revolution brought forth many struggles for poor and working peoples, the rich only got richer and the poor were influenced negatively. Labor unions brought the change that people wanted straight to the factory owners, and change they received when many laws were placed by british, american and other governments to finally better the working conditions. This didn’t change the fact that socialism was on the rise however, and people like Karl Marx put socialism into the minds of many. As shown back then and even today, communism was popular among many countries such as the United Soviet Socialist Republics, China, North Korea, Cuba, Guam, and others being influenced by the thinking of Marx, Friedrich, French philosophers, and others.
