Liberalism, Marxism, and the state

Article Abstract:

The ideology of liberalism is rooted in the free functioning of civilian society with minimum interference from the state. Civil society should be allowed to run its culture, religion, thought and economics without state intervention. Marxist ideology dismisses liberalism as the rationalization of bourgeoisie interests but history has proven that class conflicts arose from situations where the state dominated the working classes, effectively inhibiting production and economic development. The liberal economic order subscribes to a stronger civil society and the withering away of the state.
