Definition:
Marxism is the social and economic originally developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels,
although much of what is regarded today as Marxism was added on by later theorists. Marxism
relies heavily on Hegel's idea that change and progress are dependent upon the resolution of
contradiction. Marxism is also thoroughly materialistic, denying any independent reality to the mind
or ideas.
