What is Marxism?
Marxism is a social, political and economic philosophy
called Karl Marx, which examines the influence of
capitalism on labor, productivity and economic
development and argues for a labor revolution to overthrow
capitalism in favor of communism. Marxism holds that the
struggle between social classes, especially capitalists, or
capitalists, or workers, defines economic relations in a
capitalist economy and inevitably leads to revolutionary
communism.
A Brief Biography of Karl Marx
Karl Marx (5 May 1818 - 14 March 1883) was a
philosopher, writer, social theorist and economist. He is
known for his theories on capitalism and communism.
Marx, along with Friedrich Engels, published the
Communist Manifesto in 1848; Later in life, he wrote Das
Kapital (the first volume was published in Berlin in 1867;
the second and third volumes were published later in 1885
and 1894 respectively), discussing the labor theory of
value. Ironically, Marx was adept at describing the
exploitation of the working class while failing to retain his
job for a significant period of time.
Definition
"Karl Marx was the first socialist writer whose work
could be described as scientific. He not only marked
the kind of society he wanted, but spoke in detail about
the stages by which it should develop."
