Answer 1

Answer:

D. Karl Marx showed that the material bases of life never determine the nature of society

• Karl Marx's political-economic theory of Communism actually emphasized that material bases of life will determine the nature of society.
• Marx believed that the material conditions, specifically the economic and class relations within a society, played a crucial role in shaping the nature of that society.
• He argued that the means of production (e.g., factories, land, machinery) and the relations of production (e.g., the relationship between workers and owners), fundamentally influences the social, political, and cultural aspects of a society.
• According to Marx, as societies evolve through various historical stages, their economic systems (e.g., feudalism, capitalism) create the conditions and contradictions that ultimately lead to class struggle and revolution, culminating in the establishment of a communist society.
