ing information about the communist movement.Marx's theory should be understood
in the context of the hardships suffered by 19th-century workers in England, France and
Germany. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries created a seemingly
permanent underclass of workers, many of whom lived in poverty under terrible working
conditions and with little political representation. The Communist Manifesto was written
on the eve of the Revolution of 1848 in Germany. The failure of this worker and student-led
revolution caused Marx to later revise some of the arguments and predictions that appear in
the Communist Manifesto. However, the general structure of Marx's original arguments,
as well as its revolutionary tone, remained unchanged.
