'''Marxism''' is an revolutionary movement developed by the German scholar and activist [[Karl Marx]] and his collaborator [[Friedrich Engels]].  Marx's approach is indicated by the opening line of the Communist Manifesto (1848): “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles”. Marx believed that [[capitalism]], like previous socioeconomic systems, would produce internal tensions which would lead to its destruction. Just as capitalism replaced [[feudalism]], capitalism itself will be displaced by [[communism]], a classless society which would emerge after a transitional period in which the state would be nothing else but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat. Marxist are said to await "the revolution" with a [[religious]] fervor reminiscent of [[Christian]]s awaiting the [[Rapture]].
