The Marxist Theory or Marxism is a term for philosophical theories of Karl Marx advocating for the overthrow of capitalism, by the proletariat. It views history, as being driven by class struggle. He believes that after the overthrow of capitalism, there will be a peroid of control by the dicatorship, before communism, a classless, statless, moneyless society.

[[File:DialectMarx.png]] Dialectical Materialism
Dialectical Materialism is a theory created by Marx to study the universe. It was inspired by both french Materialism, and German dialects. Dialectical Materialism studies the contradictions in society, contradiction being the unity of opposites, an example being the contradiction of captialism of socialised labour, but privitased appropation of that labour. However Dialectical Materialism, differs form the dialectics of Hegel, which is idealistic, while Dialectical Materialism holds that the universe is made of matter, and driven by such.

The Proletariat and The Bourgeoisie
The Proletariat and the Bourgeoisie, were terms marx used to describe classes in captialism. The Bourgeoisie, are the people who own the Means of production, Land, Labour or capital used to make products, and the proletariat, people who sell their labour power to the Bourgeoisie to make a profit. They own no means of production. Marx believed that the contradiction between the Bourgeoisie and the proletariat, would evauntually lead to the fall of captialism, where the proletariat would overthrow the capitalist class, and estalish a peroid of a dicatorship of the proletariat. This dicatorship would not be the conventional kind of one man controlling everything, but where the workers control society and the MOP.

Marxism’s critique of liberalism, differes from the reactionary critique of liberalism. Marx’s critique of liberalism, Boil down to the fact that he thought of it as idealistic, focusing on big ideas and values, and that it supported capitalism, and uses its idealism to Justify it. Marxism, unlike reactionarism, dosent dislike Liberalism because they want to move back from it, but rather they want to move forward from. However marxism is positive about early radical liberals of the 18th century, seeing them as progressive forces.

Personality
