Is marxism good?

Marxism in itself is good. What the communists did with it was bad. Some would argue human nature won't allow for Karl Marx's views to work. Karl Marx believed that private ownership of the means of production would would make wage-slaves of the proletariat (workers). He was right.


Is Marxism good for government and economics?

Marxism advocates for a classless society where wealth and resources are evenly distributed. However, its implementation has had mixed results in various countries, with some arguing it leads to inefficiencies and lack of innovation due to central planning. Ultimately, whether Marxism is good for government and economics depends on one's perspective and the specific context in which it is applied.


How does atheism lead to Marxism?

It doesn't particularly; Karl Marx was an atheist and believed that religion was bad for society, so Marxists are probably atheists - but it certainly isn't true to assume that most atheists are therefore Marxists.


How will atheism not default to Marxism later on?

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.


How did marxism started?

Marxism originated from the ideas of Karl Marx, a German philosopher, economist, and sociologist in the 19th century. Marx developed his theory of Marxism through studying capitalist societies and the struggles of the working class. His collaboration with Friedrich Engels resulted in the publication of the Communist Manifesto in 1848, which laid out the principles of Marxism as a critique of capitalism and a call for a classless society.
