They would then change this to socialism, and then it would become communism. This was due to excessive tensions between socio-economic classes and with the working class ultimately taking over, as Marx did not believe capitalism would be able to work within the bounds of society.

The split between liberal and conservatives that developed
in the Democratic Party focused on New Deal economic policies and civil rights
measures.
