Well, Karl Marx taught in his lectures that society lives in a constant state of conflict, which it is happening because the working class discovered that the means of production are being held by a small group of people, the capitalists. These were the owners of factories, farms, properties in general, forcing the worker to accept the work conditions offered to him, or no work at all, knowing the fact that other person would take the job, maybe for less pay.
Finally, the workers began the Luddite movement, with an act of protest, destroying the machines and manufactures of their workplace, along with many others actions, looking for accomplish better work conditions, workers rights and guarantees, and some others, more radicals, claimed for a entire system transformation, one that gives the working class entire control of the capital goods.

In bourgeois society, therefore, the past dominates the present; in Communist society, the present dominates the past. In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality." </em><em>Communist Manifesto </em><em>(</em><em>1848</em><em>)</em>
~ Nicene Christianity became the state church of the Roman Empire with the Edict of Thessalonica in 380 AD, when Emperor Theodosius I made it the Empire's sole authorized religion. The Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodoxy, and the Catholic Church each claim to be the historical continuation of this church in its original form, but do not identify with it in the caesaropapist form that it took later. Unlike Constantine I, who with the Edict of Milan of 313 AD had established tolerance for Christianity without placing it above other religions and whose involvement in matters of the Christian faith extended to convoking councils of bishops who were to determine doctrine and to presiding at their meetings, but not to determining doctrine himself, Theodosius established a single Christian doctrine (specified as that professed by Pope Damasus I of Rome and Pope Peter II of Alexandria) as the Empire's official religion.
