Autonomist Marxism, or simply autonomism, is a school of Marxist thought that emphasizes the ability of the working class to force changes in the capitalist system and bring about a post-capitalist society through its autonomous activity. This perspective sees class struggle, rather than objective economic laws, as the primary driving force of history. Key concepts within autonomist Marxism include the refusal of work, class composition, the social factory, and self-valorization.
