3. What is Marxism? Marxism, a philosophy developed by Karl Marx, explores how capitalism impacts labor, productivity, and economic growth. It advocates for a worker-led revolution to replace capitalism with communism. Marxism centers on the conflict between the bourgeoisie (capitalists) and the proletariat (workers), which Marxists believe will eventually lead to a communist society. Even though some thought Marxism might fade after the Soviet Union's collapse, it remains influential today, particularly in discussions about globalization and political activism. Modern Marxist thinkers like Louis Althusser, who reshaped ideas about ideology, and Fredric Jameson, who examines capitalism’s evolution and its interaction with postmodernism, continue to shape critical thought. Marxism also delves into class conflict, highlighting the struggles between different socioeconomic groups.
