Marx and Engels'Critique of Anarchism:A Constructed Way Forward for Scientific Socialism
In the 19th century when the socialist movement was on the rise,Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels had huge differences with the anarchists on the issue of how to deal with the state.The anarchists,taking the abstract theory of hu-man nature of historical idealism and the absolute freedom of individuals as their philosophical standpoints,opposed all au-thority and the state and advocated the abandonment of all political struggles,which seriously endangered the international workers'movement.In order to eliminate the negative influence of anarchism,Marx and Engels not only deeply criticized the content,essence and crux of anarchism,but also constructed the scientific socialist theory with a scientific worldview and methodology in the course of criticism.They established the philosophical standpoints of scientific socialism,clarified the theory of the state in scientific socialism and promoted the healthy development of the communist movement.
