Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution


" The worker becomes all the poorer the more wealth he produces, the more his production increases in power and range. The worker becomes an ever cheaper commodity the more commodities he creates. With the increasing value of the world of thinsgs proceeds in direct proportion to the devaluation of the world of men. Labour produces not only commodities; it produces itself and the worker as a commodity -- and does so in the proportion in which it produces commodities generally. "

Marx, Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts (1844)



Marx was a solcial scientist, philsopher, historian, and also a revolutionary. Karl Marx felt that the hard working people in factories and farms should be in control of everything instead of having owners or landlords to order them. He viewed the world as a feudalism because of the fact that the higher class owned everything. He also viewed that workers would sell theme selves to work in factories for life to make money. Marx thought that people who was rich n wealthy would stay the way they are right now buh if you were poor n didnt have enough money, wells he thought poor peoples was going to stay or continue to be poor.He believed that their should'nt be social classes were some people owned lands or had the most money.He came up with the idea of Communism so the whole world can change. So that in the world no one would be different in political, social, and income wise. He's been working all over the world to fight for their rights. He thought that the landlords should be the once to control the factories, and also control the land and farms.




Nationalism and the Creation of Italy


I think that Nationalism is a devotion to the culture of one nation like having a flag for you country n having colors that represents the meaning of your flag. Its also the belied that nations will benifit from acting independently than international goals. I think that im nationalistic because i celebrate holidays such as the 4th of July every year. We celebrate this "holiday" because it was te day America gained it's independence from british. And everyday in school we do the Pledge of Alligance to support and remember that we are American and to support our troops thats in war right now.
Italy came to be joined by an Italian named Camillo Di Cavour which he concluded that for him the only way he coulda won was by helpin the French emperor Napoleon III. Once they got back from Northern Italy, Cavour had helped from France n Sardinia to get everything else from the two empires.
