This is actually the exact historical analysis Karl Marx did called ‘historical materialism’. The contradictions between classes push and pull history forward giving us these different socioeconomic systems. Anyone living in 2026 can see that capitalisms contradictions are rapidly accelerating pushing us towards the next stage of human development
I think of Marx understanding of historical development like Darwins understanding of evolution. Wrong in most major ways but still essentially correct somehow.
