Marxism

Marxism is a political philosophy and method of socioeconomic analysis that uses dialectical materialism to analyze class relations, social conflict, and social transformation. It originates with the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and has developed into various branches and schools of thought. Marxism seeks to explain social phenomena by analyzing material conditions and economic activities, assuming that the mode of production influences all other social phenomena. It posits that social contradictions arise from the conflict between the minority who own the means of production (the bourgeoisie) and the majority who produce goods and services (the proletariat), leading to a proletarian revolution and the eventual replacement of private property with cooperative ownership.learn more on wikipedia
