osztályharcra

osztályharc is a Hungarian term that translates to "class struggle" in English. It refers to the conflict of interests between different social classes in a society, particularly between the bourgeoisie (the capitalist class) and the proletariat (the working class). This concept is central to Marxist theory, which posits that history is driven by these class conflicts.

In Marxist ideology, the bourgeoisie owns the means of production, such as factories and land, and exploits the proletariat, who must sell their labor power to survive. This exploitation leads to alienation and inequality, which Marx believed would ultimately result in a revolution by the working class to overthrow capitalism and establish a classless society.

The term "osztályharc" and its underlying concepts have been influential in political and social movements, particularly in Eastern Europe and Hungary during periods of communist and socialist rule. It signifies a societal division based on economic status and power, and the inherent tension and potential for conflict arising from it. Discussions of osztályharc often involve analyzing the distribution of wealth, power dynamics between different socioeconomic groups, and the historical development of social structures.
