Capitalism, according to Marx, contained the germs of its own demise. He explained how the bourgeoisie's riches was dependent on the proletariat's labour. As a result, capitalism necessitates the existence of a working class. However, Marx foresaw that continuing to exploit this lower class would result in widespread discontent.
A rebellion against the capitalists would eventually be led by the proletariat. Capitalism and its followers would be overthrown in the ultimate battle.
