Question:
Marxism is usually categorized as a materialist philosophy; what does the word materialist mean in this context? Group of answer choices None of the above. Similar to the priorities of Buddhist monks, Marx taught that material possessions lead to attachment, which lead to suffering. Like saying that a celebrity is materialist, this means that Marx valued acquiring fancy material possessions over all other priorities. Marx taught that the material world is all there is; all premises in proposing a view of life must start with real observations of real people doing things: the material world.
