History Repeats Itself

It is commonly seen throughout history that the great empires such as Greece and Rome and so on fall because of this struggle between the bourgeois and the proletariat. Every empire thrived off of slaves, even America, and I think that this is what Karl Marx was referring to in these writings. That in order for history to stop repeating itself, it must adopt Communism and therefore stop the vicious cycle of struggles. Therefore, everyone gets what is granted to them and everything is fair so there won't be any power struggles. While the idea seems to work on paper, it could never actually work in real life. We have already seen other countries try to adapt these teachings and fail miserably.
