When we look the whole period of written history of mankind objectivelywe can see that though the presence of class struggle between the oppressed and the oppressor classes was apparent throughout this period it played only a minor role in the historic transformations. Major role was played by the conflicts
and wars between the ruling classes themselves in which oppressed classes sided with their respective oppressors. The changes in the social system that occurred many times in history were complex evolutionary processes in which class struggle played a role, but again not a leading factor. The industrial working
class to which Karl Marx assigned the historic role of liberating the whole mankind
are actually led and dominated by a new exploiting class of trade union leaders
and the leaders of the so-called working class parties who really come from classes other than the working class.
