Founded in the West? Proof please.
I’m pretty sure Marxism’s core fundamental beliefs are based in atheism, which is based in gnosticism.
Well, I concluded that Marxism was founded by Karl Marx, who was born in Germany and spent his life in Europe, and twisted Hegel and Kant to fit his philosophy. Flavors of atheism sprouted in different places spontaneously; many of them date back to pre-history. You could argue that it originated in Africa, or that the Neanderthals practiced it.
