    He does not. Marxism takes from multiple sources and Marxism rejects in particular a lot of things in Hegelianism outright. Marx would’ve never wanted his philosophy to be referred to as “Hegelian.”

    This idea that Marxism is “Hegelian” comes from Georg Lukács.

      Marx would’ve never wanted his philosophy to be referred to as “Hegelian.”

      Too darned bad, his adoption and modification of the dialectic (something that the Western analytic tradition entirely eschews) places firmly in the Hegelian lineage, as evidenced by him even being a member of the Young Hegelians for a time. Just because he disagrees radically with Hegel on several aspects, he still follows firmly in that dialectical methodological tradition. Is it ‘Hegelian’? I don’t know or care. Does it follow a causal historical linkage from his study of Hegel? Yes, so it’s absolutely fair to say he’s an offshoot of Hegel.

      Western analytic philosophy and it’s offshoots follow a dramatically different methodological tradition. Which is why Chomsky, who is brilliant in his own right, just blanks out at any discussion of Marxism.
