Marxist History

Marxist history is an approach that emphasizes the role of economic factors and class struggle in shaping historical events. According to this perspective, history is driven by the conflicts between different social classes, primarily the bourgeoisie (capitalists) and the proletariat (working class). Revisionist history challenges traditional historical narratives, aiming to re-evaluate accepted interpretations, often by incorporating perspectives that highlight social, economic, or ideological influences overlooked by mainstream historians. Marxist and revisionist histories often intersect in analyzing how power dynamics and economic systems influence societal developments over time.
