• B

Explanation

Option A is marked correct because both ideological frameworks identify a central "struggle" concept that drives toward systemic overthrow: Marxist-Leninist communism explicitly frames class struggle as the engine that dismantles capitalist economic systems and replaces them with a proletarian state. Similarly, certain radical Islamist ideologies frame jihad (faith/holy struggle) as a mechanism to overthrow secular or non-Islamic governance - and post-Soviet Russia, having transitioned to a market economy, can be characterized as a capitalist society subject to such critique.

Option B (False) would be incorrect because both halves of the statement do accurately reflect core tenets of each ideology - denying either would misrepresent the foundational doctrine of each movement.

Memory tip: Think of both as "struggle → overthrow" systems - communism replaces class-based capitalism with a workers' state, while radical Islamism replaces secular/capitalist governance with religious rule. The parallel structure is the key: ideological struggle → regime change in both cases.

Note for exam takers: The specific phrase "Russian capitalist society" is a narrow framing - in broader contexts, radical Islamist jihad targets any society deemed insufficiently Islamic, not Russia exclusively. If your course material frames it this way, accept it, but recognize real-world application is much wider.
