Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah informs us that, “ideology aims at uniting the actions of millions towards specific and definite goals.” It is the guiding light of all social orders. Thus, socialism is the universal objective. Ideology directs our energies toward our objective. Since there is already confusion on Marx founding socialism; Marxism and socialism usually become one and the same. The great philosopher V. I. Lenin showed the three strands of Marxism as German philosophy, English and French utopian socialist, demonstrating the specificity of Marxism as an ideology coming from European culture.
