Question

Just a general question about Karl Marx and communism.

Is Marxism considered communism?

Answer 1

Communism would not have existed without Marxism. These two resembles each other so closely that it is hard to make any distinction between them. Communism is based on Marxism. Marxism is a political ideology based on Karl Marx’s ideas while communism can be called as a political system, based on Marxist ideology. Communism is the realisation of a Stateless society where all are equal. On the other hand Marxism is the framework by which such a state is developed.
