Karl Marx adopted a dialectical materialist basis to Marxist philosophy. This is to uncover and comprehend a continuous developing subject with a logical method and reasoning (Sabine & Thorson 1973 p.687).
Marx’s theory of revolutionary subjectivity suggests that in order for a radical social change to occur, this will depend on three conditions (Harrison 2014 p. 21).

According to Marx and Engels, they believed the way to maintain the shared views of the proletariats’ struggle would be to win the battle of democracy and shifting the position of the proletariat to a position of the ruling class (Harrison 2014 p.
