Karl Marx and the Indusrial Revolution!!!!

Karl marx was a german and his ideas was known as communism. He was born a Jew, but his father converted the family to Christianity in order to get a job. He did not believe in god and thought workers were controlled by religion. The ideas of Karl Marx were not used in the communist countries. Marx believed that workers would control government, but communist governments were strict and dictatorial. Workers were often forced to work on huge collective farms and factory workers often had to fulfill quotas. In most Communist nations, the press was censored. They were not allowed to print news stories that criticized the government. People who spoke out against the Soviet government were treated harshly. Karl marx was known as the founder of Communism.
In the other hand Karl marx did not like the industrial revolution because he thought that the industrial revolution was to make the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This influenced him to make the religion known as "Communism". He wanted workers to start a revolution against their owners since there were more workers then owners. He wanted everyone to get payed the same and with no social classes that will tell people what class you are in and whatnot.
