Origin of the state according to Karl Marx : According to Karl Marx, State was not present in the primitive communist system. In this state, there was no conflict of interest between the people of the society. People used to jointly perform all the functions. Private property did not exist.
As a result of the sequential development of the society, private property emerged and the entire society got divided into two classes-wealthy class and wealth-less class. Marx termed this stage as slave age. In slave age, the wealthy master class was more influential, but its number was less than the wealth-less and unsatisfied slave class.
