Yet another non-religion, but
never the less a belief that have inflicted huge populations through recent time.
Marxism is a socio-political theory and method of analysis developed by Karl
Marx and Friedrich Engels, primarily based on the concept of historical
materialism.
It analyzes social and economic structures, particularly class relations, and
their influence on society. Marxism argues that history is driven by the
development of productive forces, leading to changes in social relations and
ultimately, social revolutions. It is rooted in the idea that economic factors,
especially the ownership and control of the means of production, shape human
consciousness and society.
Accordantly to Marxism, the world is split into multiple classes of people.
The two main classes are the working class and the capitalist, or ruling, class.
The working class is exploited by the ruling class. There is a class conflict ,
which has been the main driver of conflicts through history.
When workers realize their exploitation, they will revolt and take over
ownership of factories and materials.
Marxism recognizes that in earlier time periods, we lived first under rulers who
owned everything. Then we lived under lords who owned land with workers who
lived and worked on that land. In Marx's time, people lived under governments
that allowed many people to own property.
Eventually, Marxists believe that we will move to a society where everyone owns
everything in common. This will be called communism. It have been tested in
several countries.
