Socialism is an economic system based on public or cooperative ownership of the means of production, worker's self-management and collective decision-making in enterprises, and production for use.

Marxism is an economic and sociological theory on capitalism, economic development and social class that predicts socialism to be an outcome of economic and technological development.

Many socialists agreed with Marxist or quasi-Marxist analysis and theories, but not all socialists agree with or are Marxist. In short, Marxism is a theory; Socialism is a system.

Marxist socialism envisions a transitional state, known as the dictatorship of the proletariat, where the working class would overthrow capitalist structures to achieve a socialist society, ultimately leading to communism.

Was gustave COURBET A marxist?

Gustave Courbet was not explicitly a Marxist, but his work and ideas aligned with some socialist principles. He was a prominent figure in the Realist movement and emphasized the importance of depicting everyday life and the struggles of the working class. Courbet's commitment to representing the realities of society and his rejection of traditional academic art can be seen as resonating with Marxist themes, but he did not formally identify as a Marxist. His political views were more aligned with anarchism and socialism rather than a strict adherence to Marxist ideology.
