Crisis (Marxian)

A crisis in Marxist language means a huge problem that affects everyone in a society and it's very hard to solve. In a Marxist crisis, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, until everyone's quality of life is so bad that the people can't take it anymore and have to take action. This can lead to big changes in the economy, like people protesting or going on strike, or even starting a revolution.
