marxistický

Marxistický refers to anything related to Marxism, a social, political, and economic philosophy and revolutionary program originated by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. At its core, Marxism analyzes and critiques capitalism and historical materialism, the theory that social and economic development is driven by material conditions, particularly the means of production.

Central to Marxist thought is the concept of class struggle, the idea that history is a series of conflicts between social classes, primarily between the bourgeoisie (owners of the means of production) and the proletariat (the working class). Marxists believe that this struggle will ultimately lead to a socialist revolution, where the proletariat overthrows the bourgeoisie and establishes a classless society.

Key Marxist concepts include alienation, surplus value, and the dictatorship of the proletariat. Alienation describes the estrangement of workers from their labor, the products of their labor, and their fellow human beings under capitalism. Surplus value is the difference between the value of a worker's labor and the wage they receive, which Marxists argue is appropriated by capitalists. The dictatorship of the proletariat is a transitional state where the working class holds political power to dismantle capitalist structures and pave the way for communism.

Marxist ideology has influenced numerous political movements, parties, and intellectual traditions worldwide. Its interpretations and applications have varied significantly, leading to diverse schools of thought such as Leninism, Maoism, Trotskyism, and various forms of Western Marxism. While its historical impact is undeniable, Marxist theory remains a subject of ongoing debate and analysis in academic and political spheres.
