Explanation:

The Marxist view of history is based on the consciousness of society and individuals as a result of the material conditions they are part of. Production means and their distribution are thus central. Marx and Engels see work as man's way of realizing himself. According to their thinking, man develops his abilities, such as creativity, through work.  

The industrialization and automation that it has brought to a halt prevent workers from realizing themselves through work. The worker has become an accessory to the machines, and the only goal of the work is the accumulation of capital. This process is known by the term alienation.

It is the basis of society, consisting of production conditions, means of production and productive forces, which forms the basis for the superstructure. That is, laws, political institutions and the prevailing ideas in society always reflect the power relations in society.

Productive forces are constantly evolving, and according to Marx and Engels, superstructure will eventually become an obstacle to this development. Engels predicts increased monopolization and centralization of capital and state capitalism. Automation leads to increased production, but at the same time increased unemployment. Poverty on the one hand and overproduction on the other, according to Marxism, is one of the great contradictions of capitalism. Increasingly parts of the bourgeoisie will lose in the competition, until the bourgeoisie eventually becomes a superfluous class.

When the productive forces conflict with the state's institutions and its laws, the ruling class will turn out to be reactionary and try to stop development by all means. Marx and Engels argue for the necessity of a socialist revolution, in which the working class takes control of the state and the means of production to transfer them to the community.
