Marxism is a social, political, and economic theory proposed by Karl Marx in the 19th century, and Marxists are those who ascribe to the ideas of Marxism.
Karl Marx was a German philosopher interested in exploring the relationship between the economy and the people working within the economic system.
Marx’s theory was strongly based on the struggles of the working class during the Industrial Revolution in Europe.
He explained how there are power relationships between the capitalists and the workers, which are exploitative and would eventually cause class conflict.
According to Marx, the workers are those from a low social class, which he termed the proletariat, whereas those few in charge, the wealthy bosses, owners, and managers, are what he termed the bourgeoisie.
The proletariat are the individuals who perform labor that is then taken and sold by the bourgeoisie so that they themselves receive profit while the workers receive minimal wages.
