Marxist-Socialist 

A philosophy-turned-governmental-ideology, usually mistaken for Stalinist/Leninist-Communist. This philosophy, although greatly misunderstood, is nothing more that the belief that the strong, the capable, and the powerful shoul support those too weak to support themselves. This philosophy, created by Karl Marx, was meant to be the fundamental building block for a utopian society, but was later taken up by a man named Lenin, who twisted and warped the pure isea of Socialism and turned it into Leninist-Communism. Later adopted by Joseph Stalin, who made the idea of Socialism a cruel cycle of death, hatred, and intolerence.

I try to be the best Marxist-Socialist I can be by using my wealth and strength for the purpose of helping out those who are in need.

Marxist Masculinism 

The rare but extremely valuable and effective natural occurence of unified male cooperation and groupthink, induced by the need of an individual male or group of males to overcome the irrational challenges posed by the females of the species.

the collective "man lie" when a bunch of buddies help a dude lie to a girlfriend about his whereabouts is a perfect example of Marxist Masculinism.

Marxist-Leninist

One who follows the political philosophy or ideology of Stalin. Marxist-Leninists believe that Leninism is valid, and countries like the USSR are ready for Socialism (unlike Marx, who would've said otherwise), but there must be rapid growth in this nation (often with grave consequences...) in order to reach Marx's standard and hence rejoin the Orthodox Marxist path. Maoism, Castroism, Hoxhaism, and other hardcore Communist ideologies are derived from M-L.

Most Communist parties in the UK, like CPGB-ML, are Marxist-Leninist.
Marxism-Leninism is not Stalinism. Stalinism is what killed the people, and it's a way of enforcing M-L instead of an ideology in itself. Marxism-Leninism never killed or hurt anybody.

Marxist-Lemmyism

An ideology based on not touching grass. Key aspects include praising North Korea but never wanting to live there, defending genocide, and circle-jerking in an ever shrinking circle.

"Did you want to make the world a better place?"
"Sorry, I'm allergic to that I suffer from marxist-lemmyism"

Marxist Ethology

The application of Marxist analysis to the study of animal behavior—examining how concepts of nature, instinct, and hierarchy reflect class relations and how animal studies might illuminate or obscure human social dynamics. Marxist Ethology asks: Do ethological concepts like "territoriality" naturalize private property? Does focus on "competition" reflect capitalist ideology? How might a materialist analysis of animal behavior differ from idealist or individualist approaches? Marxist Ethology doesn't reduce animals to economics; it insists that how we study animals reflects how we think about society, and that a class analysis can illuminate both.

"They study animal 'territoriality' as if it explains human property. Marxist Ethology asks: isn't property a social relation, not a biological drive? Projecting capitalist categories onto animals then using animals to justify capitalism is circular. A materialist analysis would ask different questions: about cooperation, about resources, about survival. Marxism isn't just for humans; it's for understanding how we understand everything."

Marxist Sociobiology

A Marxist critique and reconstruction of sociobiology—examining how biological explanations of social behavior reflect class interests and how a materialist approach might differ. Marxist Sociobiology asks: Does sociobiology's focus on genetic determinism serve to naturalize inequality? How do class relations shape what counts as "adaptive"? Could a Marxist sociobiology examine how social organization shapes biological evolution, and vice versa, without reducing one to the other? Marxist Sociobiology doesn't reject biology; it insists that biological and social explanations must be integrated, and that claims about "human nature" must be examined for their political content.

"They say inequality is natural because our primate ancestors had hierarchies. Marxist Sociobiology asks: which primates? Which hierarchies? And even if true, does natural mean good? Marxism insists on history, not just biology. Human nature isn't fixed; it's made and remade through social relations. Sociobiology without history is ideology; Marxism without biology is incomplete. Together, they might actually explain something."

Marxist Ecology

A framework applying Marxist analysis to ecological questions—examining how capitalism drives environmental destruction, how class relations shape environmental impacts, and how ecological crisis might be resolved through systemic change. Marxist Ecology argues that capitalism's drive for endless growth is incompatible with ecological limits, that environmental harm is distributed along class lines, and that solving ecological crisis requires transcending capitalism. It draws on Marx's analysis of the "metabolic rift" between humanity and nature under capitalism, and on contemporary work connecting ecological and economic crises. Marxist Ecology is both analytical and political—understanding the crisis to overcome it.

"Capitalism can't solve climate change because it needs growth and nature has limits. That's Marxist Ecology: the contradiction at the heart of the system. Green technology won't save us if the system requires endless expansion. Marxist Ecology diagnoses the disease: capital's drive to accumulate regardless of consequences. The cure isn't better technology; it's a different system."
