Marxian Historicism

Marxian Historicism is a perspective that views history primarily through the lens of economic and class struggles. It posits that societal changes are driven by conflicts between different social classes, particularly between those who own production (such as capitalists) and those who sell their labor (workers). These conflicts shape the development of economic systems and social structures over time. According to this view, history unfolds as a series of stages, each influenced by the prevailing mode of production, and ultimately aims toward a classless society. It emphasizes that economic factors are central to understanding historical transformation.
