Religion as a cause of man’s alienation Against Capitalism-took the view that that it brings about its own destruction

H ISTORICAL M ATERIALISM Economic conditions shape everything significant in human society Change in history comes about because of economic changes Legal systems, religious beliefs, value-system, media, ideologies, educational institutions are determined by the economic base Economic determinism Society is shaped by economics relations

K EY POINTS FROM M ARX 1. Marxism is a theory of politics, economics and history developed by Karl Marx in the mid-1800s. 2. It argues that society progresses through phases, which are determined by ownership of capital. 3. Those who control capital essentially control society, while exploiting the workers to increase profit. 4. Marx’s conditions for socialist revolution did not apply well to Russia, which was not yet industrialised. 5. Lenin adapted Marxist theory, claiming that socialist revolution in Russia was possible if the capitalist-democratic phase was bypassed.
