Marxist analysis

Marxist analysis is any analysis that uses methods similar to those that were used in the works by Karl Marx. While "marxian analysis" [Smart '76, pp. 6, 187] [Giddens 1971, part 4, chap. 13, p. 185] strictly refers to the particular analysis made by Marx himself, like those on commodity fetishism, division of labour and production, insted, "marxist analysis" refers more broadly to similar approaches applied by other scholars to multiple subjects.

One of the Marxist analysis tools, is to approach to the understanding of a concrete reality "not through its momentary surface form", but "through conceptualization of those dialectical relations that determine it". [O'Laughlin '75, p. 343]
