Why did the capitalist class become worried after the Russian Revolution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Due to the spread of socialist movements
The governing concept is the global influence of the Russian Revolution and the challenge posed by socialism to capitalism. The revolution established a state that claimed to represent workers and peasants, while socialist movements elsewhere demanded greater equality, workers’ rights and limits on private ownership. Capitalists therefore feared that organised labour and socialist parties might challenge their control over factories, land, wealth and political power. Option A is correct because it identifies the spread of socialist movements as the direct source of this concern. Monarchy becoming stronger, the ending of a Church tax and changing weather do not explain a class-based political fear.
