Explanation

Karl Marx explained the process of class struggle with the help of Dialectical Materialism. Dialectical materialism is a strand of Marxism synthesising Hegel\'s dialectics and Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach\'s materialism. According to certain followers of Karl Marx, it is the philosophical basis of Marxism, although this remains a controversial assertion due to the disputed status of science and naturalism in Marx\'s thought. The basic idea of dialectical materialism is that every economic order grows to a state of maximum efficiency, while at the same time developing internal contradictions or weaknesses that contribute to its decay.
