“马克思主义”一词出现于19世纪60年代至70年代,最初带有贬义,马克思曾不接受这个词。马克思逝世后,恩格斯从正面采用了这个词,并给以概念的规定。列宁指出:马克思主义是马克思的观点和学说的体系。毛泽东最早提出“马克思主义中国化”的问题。马克思主义是由马克思、恩格斯创立的,而由其后各个时代、各个民族的马克思主义者不断丰富和发展的观点和学说的体系。马克思主义是一个有机的理论整体,是与时俱进的发展理论。从“马克思主义”词义及其发展演变方面厘清认识,对正确理解马克思主义具有重要意义。 The term “Marxism” appeared in the 1860s to the 1970s, initially derogatory, and Marx did not accept the term. After Marx’s death, Engels adopted the term from the front and gave the concept of a prescription. Lenin pointed out: Marxism is Marx’s system of ideas and theories. Mao Zedong first put forward the issue of “sinicization of Marxism.” Marxism was founded by Marx and Engels, and from then on the systems of doctrines and doctrines enriched and developed by Marxists of all ages and nationalities. Marxism is an organic whole of theory and an evolution theory that keeps pace with the times. Clarifying understanding from the meaning of “Marxism ” and its development and evolution is of great significance to the correct understanding of Marxism.
