The Marxist View of History

The Marxist view of history sees society's development as driven by economic struggles and class conflicts. It suggests that history is shaped by the way different social classes, such as workers and owners, interact over resources and power. These conflicts lead to social change, like revolutions intended to create a more equitable society. Marx believed that material conditions, especially ownership of production and wealth, are the key forces influencing historical progress, ultimately aiming to move toward a classless society where resources are shared equally.
