I am unaware of any popular conception that Marx hated industrial revolution. Marx saw the evolution of human society as a deterministic one in which ever greater productivity leads the the sort of affluence which removes want and lead somehow to his meritocracy which incentivized nothing. He welcomed industrial revolution as the final inevitable step that inevitably ends in bringing about his utopia. He also welcomed capitalism as an inevitable step that facilitated industrial revolution and massive wealth creation which in the end will bring about his wantless utopia.
