Marxist Geopolitics

Marxist geopolitics views global power struggles through the lens of economic class and capitalism. It argues that international conflicts, resource control, and political influence are driven by capitalism’s need to expand markets and secure resources for profit. Countries and regions are seen as intertwined through economic systems, with powerful nations often acting to maintain their economic dominance, sometimes exploiting weaker ones. This perspective emphasizes that global politics are shaped by economic inequalities and class interests, highlighting how capitalism influences state behavior and international relations.
