The condition of the working class in England 12

Although the 22-year-old Engels had a father who was a factory owner, he stood by the poor factory workers and wrote a long essay denouncing the harsh working conditions in England.
Although he later began working on theories in collaboration with Marx, we can see that his basic stance had already been established at the age of 22.

Starting today, we would like to take an excerpt from Volume 2.
We would like everyone to take a look at the current state of labor and compare it to what it was more than 100 years ago.
Engels remains angry.

Mechanical work, low wages, and long working hours worsen workers' health.
British workers start working at the age of six or eight. They work for 10 to 12 hours. Sometimes they work 19 to 22 hours.
Sometimes I only get 2-4 hours of sleep.
Workers lose their physical strength from work and are unable to do enough housework. They also make your stomach sick.
Child workers in the UK suffer from poor eyesight due to precision work, and many wear glasses.
The air inside the factory is very bad. However, because they are tied up in labor, they cannot be exposed to the outside air.
Some die from pulmonary tuberculosis.
They have not received a fair education. Some people engage in prostitution.

On the other hand, the ladies of the bourgeoisie adorn themselves with beautiful lace.
The only motive of the bourgeoisie is their own profit and making money.
They don't care if workers go hungry as long as they make money. The bourgeoisie is governed by the law of making money.
