what is Marxism?

Answer 1

The socialist teachings/leaning of Karl Marx.

Answer 2

Marxism refers to the philosophy and social theory based on Karl Marx's work on one hand, and the political practice based on Marxist theory on the other hand (namely, parts of the First International during Marx's time, communist parties and later states). Marxism discovers in Western European history several stages fundamentally determined by the material conditions at each stage - this means the relationships which people enter into with one another in order to fulfill their basic needs, for instance to feed and clothe themselves and their families.

Answer 3

the system of economic and political thought developed by Karl Marx, along with Friedrich Engels, esp. the doctrine that the state throughout history has been a device for the exploitation of the masses by a dominant class, that class struggle has been the main agency of historical change, and that the capitalist system, containing from the first the seeds of its own decay, will inevitably, after the period of the dictatorship of the proletariat, be superseded by a socialist order and a classless society.

Answer 4

The philosophical theory of economics and history derived from the writings of Karl Marx (1818-1883).

Answer 5

Karl Marx wrote "The Commumist Manifesto"--people who follow him are called Communists (or Marxists)

Answer 6

Under Communism, man exploits man.
Under Capitalism, it is just the opposite.
