Marxism came first, as it was a socio-political theory developed by Karl Marx. Communism, as a political and economic ideology, is based on Marxist principles and was inspired by Marx's ideas. Marx's works, such as the Communist Manifesto, laid the foundation for the concept of communism as a classless society where the means of production are owned collectively.
Political ideology
What is the difference between Marxism and Communism?· Marxism is basically a system of analysis, and a way to view the world. Communism, on the other hand, is basically a political movement, a form of government, a condition of society.· Marxism is the theory and Communism is the practical implementation of Marxism.· While Marxism is a political ideology based on Karl Marx's ideas, communism can be called as a political system, which is based on Marxist ideology.The Marxist ideology is to prepare the society for communism.

For example, Karl Marx created a political ideology that when combined by his ideas on economics was the basis of obtaining the goal of communism. Before the end result could be reached, Marx outlined the why and how this system was a scientific reality. Only time and certain events stood in the way of his ideology and those roadblocks would, based on his ieas on history were necessary and be changed.
