The Roman Empire was located in the Mediterranean, making the capital, Rome, a launch pad of sorts for all its expansionist ventures. Basically, Rome became wealthy by conquering its neighbors, taking back wealth to the capital where it was used accordingly to improve infrastructure, like roads, bridges, aquaducts and sewage systems. This infrastructure made travel easier around the empire, supporting the growth of trade and making conquest even easier. The booty that came back from sacking foreign lands also payed the soldiers' salary, and so the military became a means of earning wealth and status as one climbed the ranks. To continue to pay these soldiers, and to satisfy their ambitions for wealth and prestige that so came from war, Rome had to continue expanding, a lot. This contributed even more wealth to the empire (though later causing its collapse as over-expansion presented costly army maintenance fees and increased the length of the borders that needed to be defended, within and without). Beyond that, Rome's domination over the Mediterranean was good for trade and technological advances allowed for ships that could cross the Mediterranean sea, further stimulating trade. Controlling these trade routes also contributed to increased wealth that could be used for both internal growth and external expansion.

Friedrich Engels was a German philosopher, communist, social scientist, and journalist. Engels collaborated with Karl Marx to found Marxist theory, and co-authored many works such as <em>The Communist Manifesto</em>.
- In his <em>Draft of a Communist Confession of Faith</em>, Engels explicitly links communist ideology to industrialization. He argues that industrialization brought with it the replacement of workers by machines, and these machines could only be purchased by rich people. This led to the development of factories and mass production, in which the workers only have small, simple jobs and own nothing that they produce. This exacerbates inequality and deprives workers of their independence.
- Engels rejects the idea of revolution as necessary to achieve communism. He argues that all conspiracies are harmful. However, he also says that he sees the whole world as trying to repress the proletariat and in doing so, forcibly causing a revolution. If that were the case, then Engels argues that the proletariat would fight for its cause.
