Marx locates and describes in Hegelian terms the central dialectic of the revolutionary transformation of capitalist accumulation into socialist universal satisfaction of necessities of life, socialist materialist dialectic , here:

"The capitalist mode of appropriation, the result of the capitalist mode of production, produces capitalist private property. This is the first negation of individual private property, as founded on the labour of the proprietor. But capitalist production begets, with the inexorability of a law of Nature, its own negation. It is the negation of negation. This does not re-establish private property for the producer, but gives him individual property based on the acquisition of the capitalist era: i.e., on cooperation and the possession in common of the land and of the means of production."
