About this video

Runtime: 35 mins

Christopher BrittainĀ makes a distinction between Marxism, communism, and Marxian thought before engaging with Marxism. Marxian thought, influenced by Marx but not fully adopting his program, is more relevant today. Marx, often misunderstood, intertwined his ideas with biblical references and theological concepts. Born in 1818 in Trier, Marx's upbringing and education shaped his philosophy, which evolved through influences from Hegel and other contemporaries. Marx's historical materialism and critique of religion reflect his belief in the dialectical process, emphasizing practical human experience over abstract ideas.
