Marxism is a scientific worldview and school of thought first developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. The theoretical framework developed by Marx and Engels was a critical synthesis of French utopian socialism, British political economy and German classical philosophy. Since the 19th century, Marxism has then developed into several different currents of thought, such as Marxism-Leninism, Maoism or Mao Zedong thought, Ho Chi Minh thought and many other schools of thought. The Marxist scientific worldview has developed through the study of social and historical development based on the historical materialist method.

Marx and Engels first developed scientific socialism through their struggle against the utopian socialists, and reached new grounds with the publication of Capital, vol. I. Marxism was elevated in the 20th century with the practice of the dictatorship of the proletariat, which was the Leninist contribution to Marxism.
