    Marxism is a view, created by Karl Marx, that society is always in conflict between two classes; the ruling class and the working class. That capitalist society is based on the exploitation of the majority (the working class) by a few(the ruling class) because they own the means of production (wealth). that the ruling class own the material wealth of society, but also are the authors of our ideas. That man made god and not the other way about as a way to explain the unexplainable and later to alienate us. that in order to change the world and make it equal, where everyone has an equal chance of money, education etc we must revolt, collectively, and devote ourselves to making it better. that this change will only come if we seize control of the workplace etc. that in each epoch of history material and money has changed and advanced certain parts of the world so we must seize this and bring it together to be equal.
