Marxism preaches the removal of all class systems, with only a neutral government to oversee collective labor. In The Kite Runner, the various class systems are a integral part of the Afghanistan culture, leading back thousands of years. Since their culture is overpowered by Russia, and so their own class system becomes subordinate, they can't be said to have Marxist leanings; besides, their class structure came about years before Marxism. However, the Russians of the time show Marxist tendencies, especially when they use their authority to abuse the Afghan people.
