Introduction In the history of governance, political theories have had a significant influence on government ideologies, principles, norms, and values of states. Arguably, political theories act as a catalyst that enhances the development of human nature, power, and subsequent conflict. The objective of this essay is to explore and provide a comparative analysis of Marxism and Feminism. In addition, it links the theories to three themes, which are human nature, power, and conflict. Both Marxism and Feminism are Conflict theories that address social, political, and economic biasness. Marxism advocates for the protection of the proletariat or the working class against economic exploitation. On the other hand, Feminism promotes the rights of women based on the argument that women suffer unequal treatment in contemporary society (Adams 2001). Moreover, Marxism is a form of socialism that needs special analysis because it opposes the principles of capitalism. To understand the key concepts of Marxism, it is essential to understand the concept of a class difference in a capitalistic state. Feminism has multiple concepts such as Liberal, Socialist, and radical. Thus, Heywood (2003) argues that labeling such a political theory into one, narrow ideology creates biasness. Human Nature Marx categorizes human nature into general and specific aspects. He posits that the general nature of human being is unchangeable and shared by all people. He points hunger and sexual urge as the integral element of human nature. Everybody becomes hungry at one point and feels the urge to eat. On the other hand, a normal person will have a sexual desire for the opposite sex (Adams 2001). To sustain the body, a person must eat regularly. Therefore, according to Marx, all people must access food irrespective of social and economic differences. The argument closely relates to Feminism in its assertion that all human beings have similar fundamentals of nature. The elements such as the brain structure cannot be changed by artificial actions. However, men have been denying women equal opportunities in social, economic, and political realms (Lane 2015). Therefore, Feminism suggests that women should get equal opportunities because they also share similar attributes of human nature with men. According to Marxism, the integral elements of human nature cannot change. Nevertheless, they can take different directions in many various political, social, and economic contexts. For instance, hunger has a close relationship with the economic status of a country. A nation with poor economic growth and food insecurity will subject its citizens to unemployment and hunger. Coupled with gender discrimination, the situation can be adverse to women, which explains the intent of Feminism (DeLue 1997). Societies treat women in different ways. Several states deny women opportunities to have equal contributions to socioeconomic and political activities. They become victims of poverty, unemployment, hunger, and sexual harassment. Thus, the reason why Feminists fight for women’s place in society is to ensure that men do not violate their basic human nature as defined in Marxism. Power Power is at the center of all human activities. Be it a political, economic, cultural, or social activity, power defines and controls everything that humans do. Although liberalism
