Marxistischer

Marxistischer is a German adjective meaning “Marxist” or “related to Marxism.” It is the attributive form used to describe theories, positions, movements, or works associated with Karl Marx and his ideas. The base form is marxistisch; marxistischer appears in contexts where the adjective modifies a masculine singular noun in the nominative or other cases depending on grammar. For example: “marxistischer Theoretiker” (masculine, strong declension), “marxistische Theorie” (feminine), “marxistisches Konzept” (neuter), or “marxistische Strömung” (plural.

Etymology and grammar: The term derives from Karl Marx and the suffix -istisch, which forms adjectives indicating affiliation or characteristic. In German, adjectives are declined according to case, gender, and number. With no article, the strong declension yields forms such as marxistischer (masculine singular nominative), marxistische (feminine or plural), or marxistisches (neuter). When accompanied by a definite article or possessive, the endings change accordingly (e.g., der marxistische Denker, die marxistische Theorie, das marxistische Konzept).

Usage: Marxistischer is used across academic, political, and cultural discourse to denote alignment with or analysis from a Marxist perspective. It is a neutral descriptor, not a proper noun. It can accompany nouns in various branches, including philosophy, economics, political science, and social theory. A related noun form is Marxist (as a person) or Marxismus as Marxism. The term can appear in both descriptive and evaluative contexts, but remains primarily a label for theories, analyses, or positions connected to Marxist thought.
