Marx mentions that capitalism is only a tool, a tool that is really useful for production and industrialization. Then goes on to mention that once a civilization gets to the point of becoming industrialized and post-scarce, it is in the best interest of the workers, and society as most of society is made up of workers, to transition into socialism where the workers own the means of production. After that transitional process, the state, which was designed to defend, classify, and categorize capital, withers away. Problem with most countries going through the capitalism phase is that the capitalist class refuse to give up their power once they realize that means they have to work now too, which leads to a class struggle. The longer the capitalism phase goes on for, nearing late-stage capitalism, the closer and closer you get to fascism, where wealth, capital, and power are concentrated into fewer and fewer hands, which is what we see with most capitalist countries today. So, now that we understand we aren't of the capitalist class, we know we're workers, we must take it upon ourselves to organize, educate, and strengthen each other to reclaim what is collectively ours.
