The changes brought about by the industrial revolution had a significant and long-term impact on the economy, the political arena and society. Because of all the negative changes brought about by industrialization and urbanization, Europeans wanted and needed answers on how to deal with these changes. Society was now divided into different classes: the upper middle class (the rich) and the lower class (the workers). “Although reform organizations grew rapidly in the 1830s and 1840s, many Europeans found them insufficient to address the issues raised by industrialization and urbanization. » (Hunting 703). The rich were getting richer at the expense of workers, and with the rise of issues and concerns, "new ideologies such as liberalism and socialism offered competing answers to these questions and provided the platform for new political movements" ( Hunt 703). The communists wanted the working class to rise up, for the division of different classes to disappear as well as private property, so they wrote a manifesto, The Communist Manifesto (1848), a collaboration between Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels "expounded many central principles. principles that would guide the Marxist revolution in the future: they insisted that all history is shaped by class struggle” (Hunt 708). The 19th century saw the emergence of three new ideologies, the most recent ideology, socialism, wanted to reorganize society to create a harmonious, cooperative and prosperous life at a time when the industrial revolution created a great division between classes (Hunt 706-707). “From the ferment of socialist ideas in the 1840s emerged two men whose collaboration would change the definition of socialism and make it an ideology that would shake the world for the next 150 years” (Hun...... middle of article ......ion, they knew something had to change and the communists believed the manifesto would change the world “In the Communist League manifesto, they laid out many of the central principles that would guide the Marxist revolution in. the future: they insisted that all history is shaped by class struggle and that in future revolutions the working class would overthrow the bourgeoisie, or middle class, and replace capitalism and private property with a state communist in which all property is collective rather than individual. selection shows, Marx and Engels always placed more emphasis on class struggle than on the state that would result from the ensuing revolution” (Hunt 708).
