What is Marxism? (Karl Marx + Super Mario Bros.) – 8-Bit Philosophy

The video explores Karl Marx's vision of a communist utopia, where class divisions and private property are abolished. Marx's theory of dialectical materialism suggests that history progresses through material conflicts, particularly in working conditions. The Industrial Revolution intensified these conflicts, leading to worker alienation and exploitation under capitalism. Marx believed that this would eventually result in a proletarian uprising, establishing a classless society. Despite its challenges, Marxism remains a significant ideology, with some believing in the potential for a future Marxist utopia.
