The answer is obvious, but apparently the “no-brainers” are hitting the poll hard...
Apparently they should have this listed BEFORE the poll...
MARXISM IS:
While there are many theoretical and practical differences among the various forms of Marxism, most forms of Marxism share these principles:
* a belief that capitalism is based on the exploitation[3] of workers by the owners of the means of production
* a belief that people’s consciousness of the conditions of their lives reflects the dominant ideology which is in turn shaped by material conditions and relations of production
* an understanding of class in terms of differing relations of production, and as a particular position within such relations
* an understanding of material conditions and social relations as historically malleable
* a view of history according to which class struggle, the evolving conflict between classes with opposing interests, structures each historical period and drives historical change
* a belief that this dialectical historical process will ultimately result in a replacement of the current class structure of society with a system that manages society for the good of all, resulting in the dissolution of the class structure and its support (more often than not including the nation state)
Good list, but do you think the average person would understand it? ;-)
