Marxism is a political philosophy and method of socioeconomic analysis that uses a dialectical materialist interpretation of historical development to understand class relations and social conflict. Originating in the 19th-century works of German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it views class struggle as the central driving force of historical change. The theory critiques capitalism and advocates for a transition toward a classless, stateless communist society.
