‘The originality of the Marxian theory of social development* lay in its combination of dialectics and gradualism. In Marx’s view social development was a dialectical process; the transition from one stage to another took place through a revolutionary transformation, which was preceded by increasing deterioration of society and intensifying class struggles. Underlying this discontinuous development was the more gradual development of the forces of production (technology and organisation of labour).’
