Capitalism will then have produced a class of oppressed people (the proletariat or the workers) who are bent on destroying it. [In the case of RSA the new capitalist elite’ in our government who have created a membranous relationship with the very masses who put them in power/or positions of power] With the development of communication, the spread of a counter ideology which identifies the existing corporate structure as the enemy, the workers will organize and revolt [In the case of Corporate South Africa the advent of communications technologies has taken a toll on effective utilisation of state machinery, whilst labour is seen as a daunting production factor to manage] . Taking control of the means of production for the good of all, this revolt will mark the end of classes and the end of history as we know it [In the case of RSA the increasing mass demonstration mark the beginning of Marx’s prophecy on the creation of separatist society where a classful nation is born and the rejection of this form by the down-trodden proletariat]. "The prehistory of human society will come to an end." A socialist system will be established in which the means of production will be employed to provide for human happiness rather than profit [ As was the case in the USSR, Uganda, as is the current position in North Korea, China, Cuba, Vietnam and Laos ].
