Marxists = people that view history as class struggle and argue that capitalism will be replaced by communism

Definitions:

(1) (Marxism)
economic and political ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that see history as a struggle between social classes and predict that capitalism will eventually be replaced by communism

Marxism argues that laws, governments, and social customs are largely shaped by economic forces and by conflict between classes—especially between owners of factories and businesses and the workers they employ. It claims that this class struggle drives historical change and that, in the long run, capitalism will be overthrown and replaced by a classless, communist society. Many movements and governments in the 20th century claimed to be based on Marxism, though they often interpreted or applied Marx’s ideas in very different ways.
