Question

what is the relationship between the economic system and culture? (marxism)

Answer 1

Culture is dominated by the owners of production means

Explanation:

According to Marx, culture is a means of domination through which the ruling class of any society asserts its domination and justifies it. It is part of a superstructure which includes the State and religion and ensures both domination and submission of the oppressed. It is thus a means of alienation and deprivation of liberty.

Philosopher Gramsci focued on that idea and went further by asserting that cultural domination and cultural war was absolutely necessary to seize political power.
