Marxism is a socio-economic and political
theory that was developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the 19th century.
It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and analyzing society, history,
and economics, with the ultimate goal of achieving a classless and stateless society.
At the core of Marxism is the concept of historical materialism. This theory posits
that the development of society is primarily driven by economic factors, and it
emphasizes the role of class struggle and the evolving relationships between social
classes throughout history. According to historical materialism, economic conditions
and the means of production (such as factories, land, and technology) shape social
and political structures. Marxism sees society as divided into two primary classes:
the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class). The ongoing
conflict and exploitation between these classes are believed to be the driving force
behind social change and revolution. Marxists critique capitalism, arguing that
it is an inherently exploitative system that leads to inequality, alienation, and
social injustice. They contend that capitalism perpetuates the accumulation of wealth
in the hands of a few, while the majority of people face economic hardships. Marxists
believe that the working class, once sufficiently conscious of their exploitation,
will rise up in a proletarian revolution to overthrow the capitalist system. This
revolution is seen as a necessary step toward the establishment of a classless society,
often referred to as communism. In a fully realized Marxist society, there would
be no private ownership of the means of production, and resources would be collectively
owned and distributed according to need. This stateless and classless society is
often referred to as communism, where individuals are expected to contribute according
to their abilities and receive according to their needs.
