Abstract

Karl Marx's thinking became the basis of dialectical-historical materialist philosophy and so-called scientific communism. Marx's philosophical development was complex and before the dialectical-historical materialist and communist phase Marx had gone through a phase of critical-idealism and had been one of the Young Hegelian philosophers who advocated a certain interpretation of the German philosopher Hegel and this interpretation justified the demands for radical social change. The paper shows that there is a deeper relationship between the younger, critical-idealistic, and older, dialectical-historical materialistic phases than the temporal-causal or logical ones, and this relationship is called the implicit presence of the critical-idealistic phase in the dialectical-historical materialistic phase. As a result of Marx and Engels' intervention in the development of the communist movement, in which they gained a leading ideological position, the defense of communism changed radically and on the basis of the contribution of Marx and Engels so-called scientific communism and socialism arose. It justifies communism through moral arguments as little as possible and justifies it as a necessity of history which follows from scientific knowledge. This transformation of the communist ideal had fundamental consequences for the communist movement and the future emergence of socialist systems that ideologically invoked Marx's teachings.
