It might help to use the term "human necessity" for "human nature" for a moment. Through the course of history, class divided society has very much developed the forces of production, human mastery or control of human necessity. However , it has done so by instituting various forms of artificial necessity for all but small elites of rich people.

The "masters" of class divided society live in a privileged Realm of Freedom, their necessities mastered and needs met unconditionally. The Communist revolution will make a society in which human necessity is mastered for all. Thus, the theory of Communist revolution must have a concept of human necessity or human nature.
