But to give you room for argument since you don't really seem to understand the topic :
Every idea (cat-ness) can be defined by its opposition (everything that isn't a cat). Otherwise, everything would be one without division.
Humans can be defined by their humanity (which hegel calls spirit). However, humans aren't predisposed to a natural behavior because humans are conscious. This consciousness allows them for freedom.
Thus, humans will accomplish their humanity once they are free, as in, when individuals are free.
However, there currently is something which ties human's humanity (freedom) down : their irrational behavior. These are things, which, in contradiction with humanity, tie man to not-man. Stuff like traditions, hierarchies prevent man from being free as he finds himself obeying not to his freedom (his humanity) but to some irrational rules in which his freedom can't be found. In hegelian thought, these are all very abstract things which don't really tie to the real.
In marxist thought, these contradictions exist under the form of their material element : the social conditions of workers, peasants etc which are all reduced to less-then-humans, to their function of production. They aren't free, so not-humans.
