Scientific Socialism

Scientific socialism is a theory of social and economic organization developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, emphasizing a systematic approach to understanding society. It argues that societal progress occurs through a series of historical stages driven by class struggle, ultimately leading to socialism and communism. Unlike utopian socialism, which is based on idealistic visions, scientific socialism relies on empirical analysis and a materialist interpretation of history, seeking to address the root causes of inequality and exploitation within capitalism, advocating for collective ownership and democratic control of resources to achieve a fairer society.
