Fortunately, there is a way out. Capitalist society gave birth to the modern working class, the proletariat. This class owned none of the means of production. After Marx, even bourgeois historians found it impossible to ignore the masses as the key participants in history. But they systematically ignore, reject and undermine the view of history as class struggle.
History is, ultimately, about where humanity is going.
The whole history of the 20th century confirms the Marxist view that either the working class makes a revolution, or the bourgeoisie destroys humanity through nuclear war, environmental disaster, famine, disease and racist genocide.
