Editing Marxism-Leninism

[[File:Marxism Leninism.jpg|thumb|298x298px]]
'''Marxism-Leninism''' is an ideological framework to explain the driving forces of history, particularly [[class struggle]]. It was synthesized by [[Joseph Stalin]] based on the writings of [[Karl Marx]], [[Friedrich Engels]], and [[Vladimir Lenin]]. 

It is based on [[dialectical materialism]], the materialist conception of history, and Marxist political economy including the Leninist conception of [[Imperialism]]. 

After the success of the [[Russian Revolution]] and the establishment of the [[USSR|Soviet Union]] in 1922, many communist parties around the world began to adopt Marxism-Leninism as their political line, and Marxism-Leninism was the main theoretical framework which guided the Korean, Vietnamese, Cuban, Laotian and Chinese revolutions as well as other successful national liberation and revolutionary movements in Africa and Asia.

Today, Marxism–Leninism is one of the theoretical foundations of governing communist parties in [[Communist Party of China|China]], [[Communist Party of Cuba|Cuba]], [[Workers' Party of Korea|Korea]], [[Lao People's Revolutionary Party|Laos]] and [[Communist Party of Vietnam|Vietnam]], and is the political line of many communist parties engaging in class struggle.
