While there is no one stagnant theory of Marxism, basic elements include a materialistic study of societal development, Social relations, political systems, etc. come about as a result of a specific operating economic model. When technologies expand or are improved, existing social structures become inadequate and the inefficiencies caused by these inadequacies become contradictions in the economic model that takes form as class struggle.
I don’t know about ‘pure Marxists’, but Marxists believe that capitalism inevitably involves exploitation, inequality and widespread poverty.
They were Marxists. ;)

Of course. Don't you? It's believed by capitalists too, but they argue it's a necessity because it keeps economy running. Marxists call this division "class struggle", and these classes are: the bourgeoisie (the owners of the means of production) and the proletariat (the workforce).

Marxists
Early Marxists, always viewed the world as single society. Even those may still actually exist believe that all local, regional or national differences are negligible compared with the leveling and equalizing effects of capitalism. Nationhood, therefore is doomed to be abolished. This "world view" has been absorbed by non-Marxists. In the view of many analysts the European Union takes on this view. The Brexit movement in the UK has been a set back for this form f thinking.
There are no Marxists in the US government. There may be a couple Social Democrats here and there, but no Marxists.
Marxism is based on the fact that they believe capitalism abuses the workers in a nation. They believe that class struggle is inevitable and will cause workers to rebel against their capitalist oppressors. Marxists believe that communism is scientifically the end result of a communist regime.

Atheism and Marxism are not inherently linked, as atheism is simply the lack of belief in deities while Marxism is a socioeconomic theory. Atheists may hold a wide range of political beliefs, whether socialist, capitalist, or otherwise. It is important to distinguish between atheism as a personal belief and political ideologies like Marxism.
