Historical Materialism VS Historical Idealism
Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history, such is tlhe history of civilization for thousands of years. To interpret history from this viewpoint is historical materialism; standing in opposition to this viewpoint is historical idealism.

Notes:
If we accept history as rules that guide the future, we give up possibilities for better futures.
