Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx felt that the Industrial Revolution was controlling the people that worked. He did not like the Industrial Revolution. He didn't like it because it was what people felt like they must have he related it to opium which is a drug. Marx said the Industrial Revolution was not right. He also felt that religion controlled the people as well he related religion to opium which is a drug. He said "religion is the opiate of the people". The Industrial Revolution helped Marx develop his communist ideas because during the Revolution many of the workers were not united and they were controlled by the owner of the factory. He wanted the workers to unite and form their own part in society to "rebel against the man".
