This differentiation cannot take place in thought however, but only in objective reality. Man overcomes alienation, negates the negation. The products of ones labor belong to the laborer. Man is also social. The basic one is the family.
History moves forward by the dynamic interaction between the two relationships already mentioned.
Human beings use means of production to satisfy needs fresh needs then present themselves new and further means of production Human beings form relations of production to satisfy needs fresh needs then present themselves new and further relations of production. For Marx all social relations are at root economic. For Marx the State is only an abstraction, and a source of alienation. The family and civil society are the subjects and basic realities of human society. The proletariat, the current working class of Marx's time, are a force of production, and are therefore of supreme importance, playing a vital part in the advance of humanity's redemption.
