Marx saw biological analogue of his theories in Darwin's work and
Karl Marx basically categorizes two different types forces. The material forces and the mental forces. In effect there is always a balance between the two in that the expression of one is defined and controlled by the other. In Society there is this never ending conflict between the dual forces wherein each one seeks to overpower the other by its dominance. (When mental forces dominate it is reflected as a
