Marxism and the history Marxism, or Scientific Socialism, is the name given to the body of ideas first worked out by Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820-1895). In their totality, these ideas provide a fully worked-out theoretical basis for the struggle of the working class to attain a higher form of human society--socialism.
The contributors of Marxism theory Karl Marx (German, 5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) was a Prussian bornPhilosopher,economist,sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. Born in Trier to a middle-class family, he later studied Political economy and Hegelian Philosophy. As an adult, Marx became Stateless and spent much of his life in London, England, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German thinker Friedrich Engels and published various works, the most well-known being the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto. His work has since influenced subsequent intellectual, economic, and political history.
The contributors of Marxism theory Friedrich Engels (England, 28 November 1820 – 5 August 1895) was a German Philosopher,social, scientist, Journalist, and businessman. He founded Marxist Theory together with Karl Marx. In 1845, he published The Condition Of a Working Clas in England, based on personal observations and research in Manchester. In 1848, he co-authored The Communist Manifesto with Marx, though he also authored and co-authored (primarily with Marx) many other works, and later he supported Marx financially to do research and write Das Kapital. After Marx's death, Engels edited the second and third volumes. Additionally, Engels organised Marx's notes on the Theories of surplus value, which he later published as the "fourth volume" of Capital.He also made contributions toFamily economics

The example of marxism theory in literature work (Indonesian poem by Acep Zamzam Noor)
Kau pun Tahu Kau pun tahu, tak ada lagi cinta Dalam pengembaraanku Bintang-bintang yang kuburu Semua meninggalkanku Lampu-lampu sepanjang jalan Padam, semua rambu seakan Menunjuk ke arah jurang Kau pun tahu, tak ada lagi cinta Dalam setiap ucapanku Suara yang masih terdengar Berasal dari kegelapan Kritik-kritik yang kusemburkan Menjadi asing dan mengancam Seperti bunyi senapan Kau pun tahu, tak ada lagi cinta Dalam puisi-puisiku Kota telah dipenuhi papan-papan iklan Maklumat-maklumat ditulis orang Dengan kasar dan tergesa-gesa Mereka yang berteriak Tak jelas maunya apa Kau pun tahu, tak ada lagi cinta Dalam doa-doaku Aku sembahyang di comberan Menjalani hidup tanpa keyakinan Perempuan-perempuan yang kupuja Seperti juga para pemimpin itu – Semuanya tak bisa dipercaya Kau pun tahu, tak ada lagi cinta Di negeriku yang busuk ini Pidato dan kentut sulit dibedakan Begitu juga tertawa dan menangis Mereka yang lelap tidur Bangunnya pada kesiangan Padahal ingin disebut pahlawan ini adalah contoh penerapan marxisme dalam puisi berjudul Kau pun Tahu karya Acep Zamzam Noor
