Culture in the context of the revolutionary processes in the struggle for fair society in the concepts Marxism followers: questions to the historiography

The actuality of subject raised is determined by the historical changes in society, class conflicts, the need to consider a structured system of exploitation of subordinate classes by a dominant class. The aim is to reflect the views of the followers of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels on a general approach to the analysis of society, where priority was given to economic activities and key discussions were limited to the central question of Marxism concerning the aspects in which the economic base determines the nature and the structure of society as a whole. The aim of the study is to identify a large space for a variety of applications of Marxist works in cultural studies, namely the majority of Marxist approaches to culture are a recognition that culture is created within the class to divide the community, and is involved in the maintenance and legitimacy of existing power relations, or resistance to this power. In the process of working on the article have been used different research methods: analysis, synthesis, theoretical research methods, mental modeling, comparison, comparison. The results of the study include the identification in the works of G.V. Plekhanov, G. Lukacs, E. Bloch, A. Gramsci, L. Althusser modern context understanding culture and class struggle. After analyzing a number of concepts related to the class confrontation, it is possible to suggest that cultural studies are more and more moved to post-Marxist phase. It should be emphasized that each epoch is characterized by its own economy and especially the structure of social classes, so the historical changes taking place due to the gradual economic expansion of the productive forces, the development of technology and the emergence of open class conflict and further development of the revolutionary process. Thus, it is necessary to conclude: Marxist social science is able to create strict laws that can facilitate the prediction of the historical development of a just society and the formation of its new structure, and also define a revolution as a progressive leap in the development of mankind, or destructive power. In addition, for the analysis of revolutionary processes should be based on knowledge of economics, political science, cultural studies, philosophy, sociology, social philosophy and other Sciences, to determine the understanding of the class struggle through the culture of communication of representatives of different classes. In my opinion, despite the rejection in the post-Soviet period, the ideas of revolution and class struggle, cultural studies and philosophy on the basis of historical and dialectical materialism is able to specify the methods and ways of solution of problems in modern society.
