| - | '''Marxism''' is a [[worldview]] and method of [[societal analysis]] that focuses on [[Social class|class]] relations and societal conflict, that uses a [[Historical materialism|materialist interpretation of historical development]], and a [[dialectic]]al view of social transformation. Marxist methodology uses [[economic]] and [[sociopolitical]] inquiry and applies that to the analysis and critique of the development of [[capitalism]] and the role of [[class struggle]] in systemic economic change. | + | '''From each according to his ability, to each according to his need''' is a [[slogan]] first used by [[Louis Blanc]] in 1851 (although an earlier version of the saying appeared in [[Étienne-Gabriel Morelly|Morelly's]] ''The Code of Nature'') and popularised by [[Karl Marx]] in his 1875 ''[[Critique of the Gotha Program]]''. |
| - | In the mid-to-late 19th century, the [[Philosophy|intellectual tenets]] of Marxism were inspired by two German philosophers: [[Karl Marx]] and [[Friedrich Engels]].

| - | According to Marxist analysis, class conflict within capitalism arises due to intensifying contradictions between highly productive mechanized and [[Socialization (economics)|socialized production]] performed by the [[proletariat]], and private ownership and private appropriation of the [[surplus product]] in the form of [[surplus value]] (profit) by a small minority of private owners called the [[bourgeoisie]]. As the contradiction becomes apparent to the proletariat, social unrest between the two antagonistic classes intensifies, culminating in a [[social revolution]]. The eventual long-term outcome of this revolution would be the establishment of [[socialism]] – a socioeconomic system based on cooperative ownership of the means of production, [[To each according to his contribution|distribution based on one's contribution]], and [[Production for use|production organized directly for use]]. Karl Marx hypothesized that, as the productive forces and technology continued to advance, socialism would eventually give way to a [[Communism|communist]] stage of social development. Communism would be a classless, stateless, humane society erected on [[common ownership]] and the principle of "[[From each according to his ability, to each according to his need]]s". | + | *[[He who does not work, neither shall he eat]] |
