An academic label for someone who adheres to the theories, or methods, of Karl Marx, who proved that society can be studied by science. The term is confused by a lot ignorant asshats who are unable to parse Marxism from small 'c' communism; the latter being a very specific type of society, whereas Marxism is more a way of understanding how the world is shaped by material conditions and the imperatives of class power, which are the real motor forces of history.
Marxists are defined by the methods they use to analyze society and develop systematic conceptualizations of its contradictory features, not by a strict political doctrine as is often believed.

Get the Marxist mug.adj. common term used to describe someone who does not believe what you believe. Note: most abusers of this never read anything by Karl Marx (save maybe his propoganda script) so they generally have no idea what he is all about.
I am tired of that Marxist never agreeing with me. I mean, i am Glenn Beck, and i never went to school, but all my ideas are grand and spectactular.

Get the Marxist mug.The ideology stemming from writers; Marx, Engels, Lenin.
MLs believe that a successful socialist revolution needs a vanguard party and that there needs to be a transitionary period where the bourgeosie are oppressed out of existance. This usually occurs through the seizure of private property, nationalization of industry, and bourgeois culture. The proleteriat via the vanguard party will create a workers state which will implement all of what's said above. Eventually the state will whither away as it becomes less needed usually when the threat of counter revolutionary behavior is gone, and then we will have communism, a stateless, classless, moneyless society.

You know MLs aren't red fascists right? They were instrumental in defeating them.
I am a Marxist-Leninist some of my favorite works are State and Rev and Imperialism by Lenin, along with Principles of Communism, and German Ideology.

Get the marxist-leninist mug.Like any missionary, except one who preaches out of the book of (Karl) Marx.
Basically, any communist in your workplace or college.
They believe in overthrowing the superior western system of capitalism, and replacing it with what is essentially surfdom - basically, people working in the fields and factories all day for virtually no personal gain.
They are annoying, and like most cultish preaching missionaries, they speak some real non-sense, and are hard to get rid of.
And like Scientologists, they will make your life a living hell if they find that you have anything against them.
