用法筆記

Marxism is an uncountable noun and usually takes a singular verb. It often appears in history, politics, and economics discussions, especially when speakers are talking about class conflict, labour, and ownership. Distinguish it from socialism, which is broader, and from communism, which usually names a political system or movement rather than the theory itself.
