Historical materialism includes the historical materialism of the masses Both historical materialism and mass materialism insist that the masses are the creators of history, and only the people are the only driving force for historical progress. The mass historical view is put forward on the basis of historical materialism, but it is not completely equal to historical materialism, which also includes social composition and the law of social development.

The masses of the people play a role in promoting historical development.

The role of the masses in historical development: the position and role of the masses in social and historical development. It is believed that all the material wealth and spiritual wealth of human society are created by the masses in the final analysis, historical activities are the cause of the masses, and the masses are the masters of history. Representing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people is the essential feature of proletarian political parties, and it is a remarkable sign that proletarian political parties are different from other political parties. The proletarian revolutionary teachers combined the historical materialism principle that the masses are the creators of history with the proletarian revolutionary practice, and clarified that the proletarian revolution is the cause of millions of people, thus pointing out that proletarian political parties must trust the masses, rely on them, unite with them and lead them to victory. The immortal work of Marxism, the Manifesto of * * *, has clearly pointed out: "All movements in the past were movements of a few people, or movements for the benefit of a few people. The proletarian movement is an independent movement for the benefit of the overwhelming majority of people. " The proletarian political party guided by Marxism has always worked tirelessly for the interests of the people. It serves the class goal of the proletariat, that is, it serves the overwhelming majority of the people. It has no self-interest except the interests of the people.
