Marxism is philosophical, political, economic and sociological
ideas associated with Karl Marx (1818-1883) and his life-long collaborator Frederick
Engels (1820-1895).
The term 'Marxism' is also used more generally to refer to work in
the social sciences and humanities that employs key ideas and concepts from Marx and
Engels' original writings.
The core of Marxist ideas is the claim that each historical period
has a distinct mode of production that rests upon particular forces - or technological
organization - of production and distinct ways of organizing social relationships between
people in the economy.
This mode of production then exerts the primary influence in
shaping social relations within the society in general as well as its politics, law and
intellectual ideas.
Communism differs from socialism
because it contemplates revolutionary social change rather than just electoral politics.
The first modern communist
society was established in Russia after the revolution of 1917 and this political system
was imposed by the Soviet Union, after the second world war, on many countries of Eastern
Europe.
In Asia, a successful
communist-led revolution in China in 1949 led to the growth of communist regimes and
political movements in other areas, including Korea, Vietnam and Malaysia.
These centralized and
dictatorial communist systems were far from the model societies envisaged by Karl Marx and
Frederick Engels who believed that a communist revolution would create co-operative
collective ownership a true community-based democracy and a weakening of the role of the
state.
Darwin and Marx have dominated the human mind in the
second half of the 19th century.
Marxism as well as of Darwinism consists in their
following out the theory of evolution, the one upon the domain of the organic world, of
things animate; the other, upon the domain of society.
Theory of evolution, however, was in no way new, it had
its advocates before Darwin and Marx; the philosopher, Hegel, made it even as the central
point of his philosophy.
It is, therefore, necessary to observe closely what were
the achievements of Darwin and Marx in this domain.
