Question #4efcf
1 Answer
He thought they were revolutionary
Explanation:
Karl Marx thought that the industrial revolution brought along a whole new world necessary for the advent of civilization. He said that country life kept people in ignorance and superstition whereas industrialization led to urbanization which meant more civilized men.
"The bourgeoisie has subjected the country to the rule of the towns. It has created enormous cities, has greatly increased the urban population as compared with the rural, and has thus rescued a considerable part of the population from the idiocy of rural life. Just as it has made the country dependent on the towns, so it has made barbarian and semi-barbarian countries dependent on the civilised ones, nations of peasants on nations of bourgeois, the East on the West. " This quote from the Communist Manifesto clearly illustrates that point.
The changes brought by the industrial revolution and by Capitalism were seen by Marx as a necessary stage before the World revolution supposed to make Communism(a classless stateless society without private property).
