; Marxist Landmarks
: '''Das Kapital (1867)''' → Marx's massive "Scientific" analysis of capitalism, which became the textbook for revolutionaries for 150 years.
: '''The Russian Revolution (1917)''' → The first time a major country (led by Lenin) tried to "Delete" capitalism and build a Marxist state.
: '''The Frankfurt School''' → 20th-century Marxists who realized that capitalism stays alive not just through "Force," but through "Culture" (TV, Music, and Movies) that makes us love our own chains.
: '''Dependency Theory''' → The Marxist idea that "Rich Countries" aren't just "Better"—they are rich because they "Keep Poor Countries poor" as a source of cheap resources.
