The industrial revolution played a significant role in the development of communism, as it led to the rise of capitalism, widespread exploitation of workers, and increased social inequality. This exploitation and inequality created a fertile ground for the ideals of communism to take root, as it offered a critique of the capitalist system and called for the abolition of private property and the establishment of a classless society. The industrial revolution also brought about significant changes in the structure of society and the economy, which further contributed to the development and spread of communist ideas.
