 Latin American Marxism has been diverse in its philosophical particulars, and is subject to ongoing development. Even so, many forms of Latin American Marxism commitments to the following: (1) an end to imperialism, neo-colonialism and class oppression through socialist democratic change and/or revolution; (2) a form of socialist humanism based on (a) ending the capitalist exploitation of human being by human being, and (b) upholding a model of dignity based on economic and social equality; (3) a conception of philosophy as committed to understanding the world in all its dynamic and interrelated aspects, theorizing the meanings of capitalism and socialism, and shedding light on acting accordingly.  Class consciousness of workers, the proletariat, or the people is typically regarded as an important engine of social change. Apart from these shared commitments, Antonio Gramsci’s (1891–1937) influential model of “organic intellectuals”—intellectuals who support social revolution with critical perspectives—also resonated with a range of leftist intellectuals who lent their support to Marxist revolutionary movements in Cuba, Nicaragua, and elsewhere.[4]
