1. Marxism
Karl Marx sought the answers to these questions by trying to understand how our capitalist society works (for whom it works better, for whom worse), how it arose out of feudalism and where it is likely to lead. Concentrating on the social and economic relations in which people earn their livings, Marx saw behind capitalism's law and order appearance a struggle of two main classes: the capitalists, who own the productive resources, and the workers or proletariat, who must work in order to survive. "Marxism" is essentially Marx's analysis of the complex and developing relations between these two classes.
2. Karl Marx and Marxism
The influence of Karl Marx (18181883) has been prodigious. During the 1980s, people who called themselves Marxists or who lived under Marxist governments numbered about one half of the planet's inhabitants. Marxists in American universities than in the entire Soviet Union. By any objective reckoning, Karl Marx was the most influential modern thinker.
Marx extended this argument to suggest that individuals really do not think independently at all; rather, the great majority of people simply repeat the dominant ideas of their time in place of thinking. Do any of us really think on our own, or do we simply repeat the ideas
