Answer:
yes that is through but you have to take them bit by bit
Step-by-step explanation:
Historical materialism is a methodology to understand human societies and their development throughout history. Marx's theory of history locates historical change in the rise of class societies and the way humans labour together to make their livelihoods. Marx argues that the introduction of new technologies and new ways of doing things to improve production eventually lead to new social classes which in turn result in political crises which can threaten the established order.
Marx's view of history is in contrast to the commonplace notion that the rise and fall of kingdoms, empires and states, can broadly be explained by the actions, ambitions and policies of the people at the top of society: kings, queens, emperors, generals, or religious leaders. This view of history is summed up by the 19th century Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle who wrote ‘the history of the world is nothing but the biography of great men’. An alternative to the 'great man' theory is that history is shaped by the motivating force of 'great ideas' - the struggle of reason over superstition or the fight for democracy and freedom.
