"Exploring the Legacy of Marxism: From Lenin to Che Guevara" A powerful portrayal of Vladimir Lenin, painted by Aleksandr Gerasimov in 1930, captures the essence of this influential Marxist leader. In 1903, at the Second Congress of the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, Vladimir Lenin stood tall as a prominent figure among Bolshevik comrades. Rosa Luxemburg's unwavering dedication as a Marxist activist in Germany left an indelible mark on history and inspired countless others to fight for social justice. Alexandra Kollontai, a Russian revolutionary and social theorist (1872-1952), challenged societal norms with her progressive ideas that continue to resonate even today. The members of POUM marching through Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War exemplify how Marxism served as a rallying cry for those seeking liberation from oppression. An evocative painting depicting Vladimir Ilyich Lenin at Smolny circa 1925 reminds us of his enduring influence on shaping Marxist ideology. Alexandra Kollontai's revolutionary spirit shines through in a photograph taken in 1910, capturing her commitment to transforming society through socialist principles. Amidst the vibrant streets of La Habana Vieja (Old Town), Havana stands striking street art paying homage to Che Guevara—a symbol synonymous with Marxist ideals and revolutionaries worldwide. The captivating image of Che Guevara adorning an old house entrance serves as a reminder that his legacy continues to inspire generations striving for equality and justice. On the side of a building in La Habana Vieja (Old Town), Havana, bold street art featuring Che Guevara immortalizes his role as an icon within the annals of Marxism. Das Kapital or Capital (1867) written by Karl Marx remains one of Marxism's foundational texts—a comprehensive analysis of capitalism and its inherent contradictions.
