1, theoretical source
Marxism is the product of the outstanding cultural heritage of mankind. It is a brand-new proletarian ideological and scientific system that critically inherits German classical philosophy, British classical political economy and utopian socialism in Britain and France.
Marx and Engels accepted Hegel's idealism philosophy before 184 1, and turned from the second half of 184 1 to L.A. Feuerbach's materialism. They absorbed the rational core of dialectics in Hegel's philosophy and abandoned idealism, absorbed materialism in Feuerbach's philosophy and abandoned idealism's views on metaphysics and social and historical issues, and founded dialectical materialism philosophy.
2. Development process
The birth of Marxism is a great revolution in the history of human thought. It established a scientific world outlook and methodology for the first time, which not only pointed out the correct path for the liberation of the world proletariat and all mankind, but also provided a sharp weapon for the development of various sciences.
Marxism is not a doctrine, but a guide to action. For more than a hundred years, it has led the proletarian liberation struggle to great victory, and it has been developing with the development of social practice and science and technology. In the new historical period, outstanding Marxists from all over the world combine their own revolution and construction practice to continuously enrich and develop the scientific system of Marxism.
