This is something I never really understood in itself or why it's important in the first place. Modern day examples would definitely help.

Can somebody help me out?

My kid has some books by Chris Ferrie that explain complex topics like organic chemistry really nicely. Ferrie doesn't seem like a communist, but your question and some of the responses have me thinking that it would be cool if there was Marxism for Babies book written and illustrated in a similar style. I did a quick search and didn't find anything that really hits the mark.
