What is the overall theme that H.G. Wells is trying to portray?

       H.G. Wells is the author of many books. The War of the Worlds like this story are fictional stories, but within this gripping story of a time traveler, the author incorporates science by articulating the likelihood of time travel. The main theme we see in the story, however, is the stunning evolution of the human race that the author foresees. Just like the Time Traveler, the author believes that communism leads to the formation of a capitalist society. This society is eventually reversed after a long period of the capitalists are in charge. The capitalists will become weak and ignorant which will allow Darwinism to take affect in turn flipping the ruling party. The author is wanting to warn us that a communist society, though not immediately, will lead to many dark days in our human history that would compare to the world of 802,701.
