History Of Marxism.

Marxism is a political philosophy that is the backbone of Communism, although most communist countries are not truly Marxist. With a strong belief that workers should rise up and revolt against the rich upper class that held them in place, Marxism was a powerful movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many countries had Marxist revolutions and overthrew their governments. Marxist philosophy can be broken down into three parts:i) ii) history is defined by class struggles, the rich versus the poor. that capitalism is controlled by only a few (the rich) and that the many (the poor workers) produce more than is necessary to support an unbalanced system. since the workers do not have any control over the capitalist society in which they must live, they should rise up and take political power for themselves from the rich.
