Karl Marx and Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx was a German Jew which changed the whole Russian history.  His father converted to a christian so that he could get a job and support his family so it was hard for him. He studied the Industrial Revolution. He believed that it was the mistreat of adults and kids, which was child labor. The conditions of the factories were harsh and unsafe. He told the people to join together into a revolution. 

He thought of an idea to share everything like money , stuff etc. The property belonged to the government. Which was a good idea to him the way he envisioned it in his mind which was called communism. But when country's took on the Communism it was corrupt and people were all making the same annual pay so even if you were a doctor you made as much as the janitor. Which meant all those years you studied for medical school was for nothing. Many countries were taken over by communists and after a so many years of communism Russia was not no more. 

He died in 1883 and his ideas started many revolutions. He thought that the people could control the revolution so everyone would share some sort of equality but it turned out that people mostly dictators took control of the countries
