• According to Karl Marx's theory of historical materialism, the sequence of progression of society is generally described as follows:
  • Ancient Society
  • Feudalism
  • Capitalism
  • Socialism
  • Communism
• Ancient Society (Primitive Communism): In the earliest stage, human societies were characterized by small, tribal communities where resources were collectively owned and shared. There was little private property, and production was limited.
• Feudalism: Feudalism emerged as societies became more structured. It was characterized by a hierarchical system where a ruling class of nobility or landlords owned land and controlled the means of production based on simple, communal means.
• Capitalism: Capitalism represents the stage in which private ownership of the means of production becomes prominent. In this system, individuals or capitalists own factories, land, and resources, and they hire labor to produce goods and services for profit.
• Socialism (Transitional Stage): Marx believed that as class struggle intensified within capitalism, the working class would become conscious of their exploitation and seek to overthrow the capitalist system.
• The transitional stage of socialism involves the workers seizing control of the means of production, eliminating private ownership, and establishing collective or state ownership. 
• Communism (Classless Society): Communism is the final stage in Marx's theory, representing a classless society where there is no private ownership of the means of production. Resources are collectively owned and distributed based on need.
• In a communist society, there is no exploitation, and the state is expected to wither away as it becomes unnecessary.

Thus, the correct sequence, according to Marx, is as follows: Ancient Society -> Feudalism -> Capitalism -> Socialism -> Communism.
