What is Marx's theory?

Answer 1

Basically yes but two things should be noted. Firstly, Marx and Engels would disagree with the use of the term 'ideology' as they defined ideology as being abstract thinking that had no real relation to reality. Secondly, communism should be seen as a part of Marxism as opposed to Marxism being seen as being "behind" communism, Marxism is a very large and complicated philosophy and nothing in it should be thought of as being "behind" something else.

Answer 2

Marx's theory, known as Marxism, is a socio-economic theory that emphasizes the struggle between different social classes in a society. Central to this theory is the concept of historical materialism, which posits that the development of society is driven by the conflict between the ruling class (bourgeoisie) and the working class (proletariat). Marx believed that capitalism would inevitably lead to its own downfall and pave the way for a classless society, where the means of production are owned collectively.
