What is Marxism (Sociology)

This video explains what Marxism is in simple terms that anyone who is completely new to the topic will be able understand.

I wanted this introduction to Marxism to be broken down into straightforward concepts and examples so you can build your knowledge and confidence early in your studies.

Marxist theory in sociology is based on the view there is a conflict between social groups in society. The business owners are the most powerful group in society and they control the workers and society for their benefit.

This video covers
1. Main ideas of Marxism
2. Marxist explanations of education, the legal system and religion
3. Criticisms of Marxism

“The great resignation” as their calling it today, may suggest Marx predictions are coming true.

I dont understand what you mean by no revolution. There has been many revolutions in the soviet union, china etc so what do you mean by this?

Another excellent video! I'm looking forward to your Functionalism one as I personally think you did such a marvelllous job on the Sociology of Religion, delivered in a clear and concise manner that saved me a lot of time last year. Thank you!!!

Good video, but in terms of criticism 1:
You’re right that there wasn’t and international revolution by the proletariat that Marx’s predicted,
But huge revolutions did happen under the influence of Marxism, with five communists states still existing today (though they’ve definitely deviated from Marxist beginning)

Amazon comes to mind watching this.
Didn’t know Karl Marx lived and died here in London .

Christ... can ANYONE on Marxist Youtube actually describe what Marxism IS instead of just listing off what it ISN'T?
I'm beginning to think it's a sociopolitical theory that espouses grievance as ideology.
