Explanation:

Socialists and communists in the late 19th - century criticized the excesses of capitalism. They believed that without regulation, capitalists would seek maximum profit, leading to the exploitation of workers. The idea of a violent revolution was more of a communist - leaning view and not shared by all socialists. The other options do not represent their common beliefs. Socialists and communists generally did not advocate for no government, and the view of gradual improvement through favorable laws was more of a reformist stance not as central as the critique of capitalist exploitation.

Answer:

Unregulated capitalism leads to the exploitation of workers.
