Features: The transformation of Marx's historical view in his later years is primarily reflected in the proposal of the dual domination theory of social development, the discontinuous form of productive forces, the leapfrog combination of productive forces and productive relations, and the theory of multiple tracks of historical development. These transformations not only broke down the theories of social singular domination, linear historical development, and the theory of costs, but also created a brand-new historical perspective. Furthermore, they made us realize that the fundamental principles of historical materialism were proposed in response to idealist historical materialism, emphasizing that history is the life story of real people. More importantly, Marx, based on the unity of the theory of socio-economic formations, the theory of social formation development, and the theory of human development, clarified the social essence of human beings, revealed the specific historical connotations of practice and interaction, and perfected the idea of communist freedom.
