Scientific Socialism is a term used to describe a theoretical framework for understanding and implementing socialism based on scientific principles. It was developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, who believed that social and economic systems evolve through historical processes. They argued that capitalism would inevitably lead to its own downfall, paving the way for a classless society. This approach emphasizes the importance of analyzing social conditions and class struggles to create a more equitable society. Unlike utopian socialism, which relies on idealistic visions, scientific socialism seeks to apply empirical evidence and historical materialism to achieve social change through organized political action.
