Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The core of a Marxian interpretation of social structure and change is the belief that conflict between social classes is the primary motivator for social change. Marx believed that the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) exploited the proletariat (working class) for their labor, which would ultimately lead to a revolutionary overthrow of the capitalist system and the establishment of a socialist society. This conflict theory perspective argues that social change occurs as a result of tensions and conflicts between opposing classes, rather than due to the movement of ideas, the natural environment, or religion.
