Question

What is maxist theory​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Marxism is a method of socioeconomic analysis that views class relations and social conflict using a materialist interpretation of historical development and takes a dialectical view of social transformation. It originates from the works of 19th-century German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

Answer 2

Answer:

Marxist theory develops in part because people need more than political instinct to steer by when they want to improve their situation. But the problems of achieving change in a life by changing a law have been apparent since Marx discussed the workers' struggle for the 10 hour day (1867/1974, chap. X). In an attempt to resolve the conundrum that legal change is needed but law is not positioned to end oppression, I first followed Marx and Engels (1872/1957), seeing law as impotent (Cain 1972); then Hunt and I saw law's power as a staging post of struggle (Cain and Hunt 1979, Hunt 1981a, 1981b). Finally I argued that ‘professionalised law’ is of defensive but not offensive value for the oppressed (Cain 1985)..
