Why did socialism become popular during the Industrial Reudution ?
lianna [129]

Answer:

During the Industrial Revolution, the workers were treated like parts within a machine simply because they had no protections and the employers could exploit the workers in the name of profits. As a result, workers were placed in horrible working conditions for smaller wages as new groups joined the labor pool.

While some fought unfair employment practices, others thought that the solution was to get rid of capitalism altogether. Socialism was viewed as the most fair way to distribute the fruits of the labor as everyone could take according to his/her need.
