Marxism is an economic and socio-political worldview that contains within it a political ideology for how to change and improve society by implementing socialism . Originally developed in the early to mid 19th century by two German émigrés living in Britain, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels , Marxism is based upon a materialist interpretation of history . Taking the idea that social change occurs because of the struggle between different classes within society who are under contradiction one against the other, the Marxist analysis leads to the conclusion that capitalism , the currently dominant form of economic management, leads to the oppression of the proletariat , who not only make up the majority of the world's populace but who also spend their lives working for the benefit of the bourgeoisie , or the wealthy ruling class in society.

Marxism refers to the philosophy and social theory based on Karl Marx 's work on one hand, and to the political practice based on Marxist theory on the other hand (namely, parts of the First International during Marx's time, communist parties and later states ). Marx, a 19th century socialist philosopher , economist , journalist , and revolutionary , often in collaboration with Friedrich Engels , developed a critique of society which he claimed was both scientific and revolutionary. This critique achieved its most systematic (albeit unfinished) expression in his most famous work, Capital: A Critique of Political Economy , more commonly known as Das Kapital (1867).

Marxism is the social theory and political practice based on the works of Karl Marx , a 19th century German philosopher , economist , journalist , and revolutionary , along with Friedrich Engels . Marx drew on G.W.F. Hegel's philosophy, the political economy of Adam Smith and David Ricardo , and theorists of 19th century French socialism , to develop a critique of society which he claimed was both scientific and revolutionary. This critique achieved its most systematic (albeit unfinished) expression in his masterpiece, Capital: A Critique of Political Economy , more commonly known as Das Kapital . Since its inception and up to the present day, Marxism has been situated largely outside the political mainstream, although it has played a major role in history. Today, Marxist political parties of widely different sizes exist in most countries around the world, and Marxism continues to enjoy significant intellectual respect in many circles.
