Marxism is a social, political, and economic philosophy developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It is centred on the idea that history is driven by class struggle and that capitalism will inevitably be replaced by a communist society through a worker revolution.
Marxism posits that history is shaped by economic forces and how societies organize their production and distribution of goods, rather than by ideas or ideologies.
Marxism identifies a fundamental conflict between the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class), with the bourgeoisie exploiting the proletariat for profit.
