Marx and Engels believed that A. people in a good environment would behave unselfishly B. people should create utopian communities C. the captalist system should be desroyed D. worksers should improve conditions by taking political office
They believed that the industrial revolution marked one of the "inevitable" stages of history, and, as such, it would be superseded by a proletarian revolution, marking the transition from capitalism to communism. They saw industrialisation as both a negative, as it increased exploitation of the workers, and a positive, in that it would inevitably cause a communist revolution. The positives were also that industrialisation would lead the workers to discover their "class-consciousness" i.e. they would realise that states and nations were a bourgeois construct designed to oppress the workers - when workers in all countries achieved class consciousness they would unite, governments would whither away and human beings would no longer exploit each other. The theory was based, loosely, on Locke's Labour Theory of Value and Hegelian dialectics.

Yes, that is true
