  1. class struggle

    Class struggle, also known as class conflict, refers to the political tension and economic antagonism that exists in society due to competing socioeconomic interests and desires between different social classes. It involves conflict between the upper or the ruling classes who controls resources and power, and the lower or working classes attempting to gain more equity or even overthrow the ruling class. This idea is central to Marxist theory, who believed that such struggles were the driving force behind societal change and evolution.
