Marxist thought
Dialectical materialist philosophy
Marxist thought is the body of political, economic, and philosophical ideas derived from Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
Central concepts include class struggle, the critique of capitalism, historical materialism, and the eventual transition to a classless society.
The term encompasses both Marx's original writings and the many interpretations and movements they spawned: Marxist thought influenced liberation movements worldwide.
Often used interchangeably with Marxism, though Marxist thought may emphasize the intellectual tradition while Marxism suggests organized political ideology.
