The Revolution was built on the principles of natural philosophy, now recognized as science. Science made dreams reality. Spend it rationally, however. Make them work 11 hours a day, six on Saturday. Get their kids into the act as well and force them to live in tenements twelve to a room.
Nothing ought to stand in the way of profits.
By 1848, a revolutionary year throughout Europe, two exiled Germans by the name of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, discovered scientific laws, based again on the Newtonian paradigm along with a dash of Hegelian philosophy, that determined that industrial capitalism would, by historical necessity, cease to exist. An age of socialism in which workers would own and control the means of production would appear and, incidentally, the middle classes would disappear. Following this would come communism, each according to his ability, each according to his need. They were heirs of the Enlightenment. They studied history, especially history.
