What is Karl Marx's theory?

Answer 1

Marx's main theory is called "Dialectical Materialism." The basic idea is that the mode of production of material goods shapes the economic and political systems of a society at any one time. As an example, according to Marx, the industrialization of the economy in the 1800s gave rise to a capitalistic society.

Answer 2

Karl Marx's theory, known as Marxism, argues that society is divided between the ruling class (bourgeoisie) and the working class (proletariat). He believed that capitalism would lead to class struggle, ultimately resulting in a revolution where the proletariat would overthrow the bourgeoisie and establish a classless society. Marx also emphasized the importance of labor and the need for workers to control the means of production.
