  3. Discovery of Fire: The discovery of fire was a major significance in the struggle with nature. Fire made it possible for primitive peoples to diversity their diet. As a primitive people began to hunt animals, meal is added to their diet. Gradually primitive people realized to productive forces. 
  4. Cultivation : The beginning of land cultivation was another step forward in the development of the productive forces. Primitive farming remained at a very low level of development for a long time.
  5. Relation of Production: The relations of production in primitive society were determined by the styli of the productive forces. The basis relation of production was cultivating ownership by individual communes of the primitive society. Means of production is particular instruments of labor. The instruments of labors in primitive society were so primitive that people could not fight the forces of nature and wild animal on their own. So they lived in groups or communal  and  their economy(hunting and fishing ) on a joint basis. It is also called economic ownership of the means of production.
  6. Productive Lack: In primitive society labor was not very productive and created no surplus product over and above. The amount erectile for like labor activities based on simple co-operative, many people do the same job. There was no explanation of man by man. The egalitarian distribution of the scanty food between the members of the communes brought them all to the same level.

Development of the Productive Force: As the productive force developed man began to obtain more means of subsistence than were essential for his survival under this condition it become possible to empty more workers. At first slavery was domestic in character but later it become the basis of the exigent of a new system. Slaver labor lead to a further rise in inequality a household using slaves quickly grew rich, later as properly inequality rich people began to enslave captives but also members of their fellow tribesman who had become improve rushed or were in debt. Thus lass division, exploitation also socialism rises up.

  Conclusion:

The growing inequality between people led to the formation of the state as an organ of opinion of the exploited class by the class of exploiters. Thus slavery grew up on the ruins of the primitive communal mode of production.
