Gosh, it’s a really tough one! I’m not even sure what question I should answer first! It’s probably too long to fit on a single reply, so I guess I’ll list some of the ways I might try to help, and you can send me another message if you want to hear more.

Okay, can you give me a basic definition of marxism?
user
Sure! Marxism is a school of thought that says that history is structured around a certain “master narrative”, where small-scale societies can only become more complex and sophisticated over time.  I’m a big fan of this type of thinking, since it seems to give a satisfying explanation for some of the massive socio-economic changes in the world.  This type of thinking is sometimes called “historical materialism”, and has some really famous champions, including Marx and Engels, and also many others I like, including Gramsci and Althusser.

Who are some of the followers of marxism?

One of the most well-known followers of Marxism is Karl Marx himself!  Other famous Marxists include the great German philosophers of the 19th century, the Freiburg School, and the Marxist-Leninist party, the Communist Party of China.  In recent years, another Marxist movement, called the Autonomist Marxism movement, has gained popularity.

Who are some of the followers of marxism?

This is a really hard question, because there are literally thousands of different organizations called “Marxists”, and they all have different philosophies and goals!  One thing I can say, though, is that most Marxist organizations try to relate to workers in society, and use some kind of “dialectical materialism” to look at history in a complex way, and try to promote social change, so people can gain power and have a voice in politics.  I’m not a super-expert on Marxism, but I can say that if you want to try to research it more, you might start with the writings of Marx and Engels.
