How did the Industrial Revolution lead to the rise of communism in Russia?

Answer 1

During the Industrial Revolution, Karl Marx, a German philosopher, created Marxism. He believed that everyone was essentially good and believed in an egalitarian society in which everyone would be equal. The only way this would happen, though, is if the proletariat class revolted.

Sadly, when Marxism is put into practice, it creates communism. This was nothing near to what Marx intended, though. Russia tried to enforce Marxism (with the slight problem that they had no proletariat class) and ended up with communism.

Answer 2

The growth of factories led to poor working conditions, child labor, and low wages, which led to unrest.

Answer 3

It helped industrialization since the freed serfs were able to work in factories.
