Marx explained the difference between his dialectic and the Hegelian
# [[Materialism]]: Marx believed that "there is nothing in the world apart from [[matter]] in motion." Thus men's thoughts and [[emotion]]s, seen as by-products of matter in motion, may properly be scientifically controlled by those who seek to further human "progress".

# [[Class Struggle]]: The dialectical struggle between a new working class (the "[[proletariat]]") and the supposed old capitalist ruling class (the "[[bourgeoisie]]") results in the creation of a new kind of human being - a new man - and in turn produces the inevitable triumph of the new class, which then establishes its dominion over the whole earth. The victory of the proletariat is supposed to lead to a "classless society". This is the Marxist equivalent of [[salvation]]. In the absence of absolute values, it becomes an end that justifies almost any means.

Marx explained the difference between his dialectic and the Hegelian this way:
<blockquote>My dialectic method is not only different from the Hegelian, but is its direct opposite. To Hegel, the life process of the human brain, ''i.e.'', the process of thinking, which, under the name of "the Idea," he even transforms into an independent subject, is the demiurgos of the real world, and the real world is only the external, phenomenal form of "the Idea." With me, on the contrary, the ideal is nothing else than the material world reflected by the human mind, and translated into forms of thought.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=sxQl44nJmjwC&pg=PA25 Capital: A Critique of Political Economy - The Process of Capitalist Production]</ref></blockquote>
