Abstract

There is a widespread interpretation that Marx and Engels maintained a positivist view of progress (like a mechanical succession of phases in history) that led them to Eurocentric, and even racist, positions towards the “least developed” regions of the world. Even though there may be some truth in these accusations, that from times to times some Marxists and its critics reproduces, this paper aims to defend Marx’s theory of history. We think that one should note that already in The German Ideology it is possible to see a clearly non-linear theory of history that would be further developed in Marx’s later works.
