Classical Marxism

Common card · No. 278639

Classical Marxism is the body of Marxian economics and Marxist theory expounded by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in their works. It is contrasted with orthodox Marxism, Marxism–Leninism, and other schools of Marxist thought which emerged after their deaths. The core concepts of classical Marxism include alienation, base and superstructure, class consciousness, class struggle, exploitation, historical materialism, ideology, revolution; and the forces, means, modes, and relations of production. Marx's political praxis (application of theory), including his attempt to organize a professional revolutionary body in the First International, often served as an area of debate for subsequent theorists.
