Marx believed that the mode of production drives history but that other non-economic forces and institutions might have minor influences on the force created by the mode of production but no serious influence on history. In other words, the economic force drives history and everything else simply slows down or speeds up the economic force.

Karl Marx's theory of economic determinism holds that the development of society and history is primarily driven by the economic interactions and relationships between different social classes. He believed that the economic system in place, particularly capitalism, determines the political, social, and cultural structures of a society. According to Marx, changes in the mode of production lead to transformations in society, ultimately shaping the course of history.
According to Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto, the motor of history is class struggle. He believed that history is shaped by the conflicts between different social classes, particularly between the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class). Marx argued that these class struggles would eventually lead to the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a classless society.
