Marx's Marxism and the 21st century world

Marxism is a social, political, and economic theory developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the mid-19th century. It is based on the analysis of class relations and societal conflict, particularly between the ruling class (bourgeoisie) and the working class (proletariat).  At its core, Marxism critiques capitalism, arguing that it leads to exploitation, alienation, and inequality. Marxism advocates for the overthrow of capitalist systems through revolutionary means and the establishment of a socialist society, where the means of production are owned and controlled by the working class. Marxism also envisions a transition to a classless, stateless society known as communism, where resources are shared equitably, and production is based on need rather than profit.  Throughout its development, Marxism has been a major influence on various political movements and has sparked significant debate and discussion about social change, economics, and political philosophy.
