What is the fundamental driving force for creating history?
(1) People are the creators of history and the main body of social and historical development. They are the creators of social material wealth and social spiritual wealth, and they are the decisive force of social change. Therefore, the people are the fundamental driving force for creating history.

(2) The contradiction between productive forces and relations of production, and the contradiction between economic base and superstructure are the basic contradictions that run through human society. The relations of production must adapt to the law of productivity, and the superstructure must adapt to the law of economic foundation, which is a universal law applicable to any society. The existence and function of the law of social development is independent of human will. Although human activities have purpose and initiative, this purpose and initiative cannot change the law of social development.

(3) It is correct to think that the people are the fundamental driving force to create history, but it exaggerates the power of the people and thinks that the people can change the law of the development of human society, which is a historical idealism and wrong.
