    The Mode of Production determines what ideas and traits are more expressed among society. The Base determines the Superstructure, which in turn reinforces the Base.

      Ok yes but this makes no sense to someone with zero background in marxist theory.

      This means that the values of a society are determined by the economic structure but also that these values then reinforce the economic structure. So you end up with societal values that closely allign with whatever best reinforces the base.
