According to Marxist Conflict Theory, how does alienation connect with historical materialism in the context of societal development?

Marxist Conflict Theory suggests that society develops through conflicts between different social classes, mainly between the workers and the owners of production. Alienation occurs when workers feel disconnected from the products they create, the work they do, and their own human potential because they do not own what they produce. This feeling of alienation is a result of historical materialism, which is the idea that material conditions and economic factors shape society and its development. For example, in a factory, a worker might assemble parts of a product without ever seeing the final result, leading to a sense of separation from their work and a lack of fulfillment. In this way, alienation reflects the struggles and inequalities arising from the capitalist system that historical materialism describes.
