The direct theoretical source of Marxism

The direct theoretical sources of Marxism include German classical philosophy, British classical political economy and utopian socialism in Britain and France.

German classical philosophy provides a theoretical basis for Marxism, and Hegel's idealist dialectics and Feuerbach's materialism have a far-reaching influence on it. British classical political economy has contributed to the concept of political economy, among which Adam Smith and Ricardo's theory of labor creating value is the representative. Utopian socialism in Britain and France laid the foundation of scientific socialism, and the thoughts of Simon, Fourier and Owen had a direct impact on Marxism. These three sources are isomorphic and constitute the theoretical basis of Marxism.
