However, Marxism stands out from other progressive movements due to the fact that Marxists struggle always to overcome the manifold forms of domination and exploitation in and through the self-emancipation of the working class. This makes Marxism fit into the category of Revolutionary Socialism, which refers to socialist tendencies that follow the idea that social revolution is necessary in order to effect structural changes to society.
An opposing idea to Marxism is Anarchism, a political philosophy that advocates stateless societies. Marxism has its origins in the struggle for this perspective, unlike anarchism, which seeks to undermine all forms of authority. Anarchism also seeks the destruction of the capitalist state without promoting and preparing the working class for the seizure and holding of public political power. The two ideas have come together in the past as working class movements, however, the groups often clash when it comes to issues of state and class. For Anarchists, classes exist because of the state. However, for Marxists, the state arose as a result of class conflict to assure the victory of a powerful minority class against the majority.
