Where did Karl marx think a communist revolution would take place first?

Answer 1

Marx predicted a proletariat revolution would take place in a heavily industrialized country like Germany or England. Heavy industry is what created capitalism and its inherent class struggle between the Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat. In an agrarian economy like Russia's was at the time, the two classes were not drawn distinctly enough to create enough impetus for the workers to revolt. The Russian Revolution was driven by politics, whereas Marx predicted a revolution driven by economics.

Answer 2

Karl Marx believed that a communist revolution would likely take place in the industrialized capitalist societies of Western Europe, such as Britain or Germany, where the contradictions of capitalism were most pronounced. He theorized that the working class, or proletariat, would overthrow the bourgeoisie and establish a communist society based on common ownership of the means of production.
