With reference to the politico-economic theory of Communism, which one of the following statements is not correct?

  • A.Marxist ideas of how to change the world was based on a scientific analysis of society through history.
  • B.No society can be Socialist before having gone through the stages of Capitalism.
  • C.Capitalism itself creates the conditions for the overthrow of the capitalist society.
  • D.Karl Marx showed that the material bases of life never determine the nature of society.

Answer: D

The statement that is not correct is Karl Marx showed that the material bases of life never determine the nature of society.

Marx's historical materialism says the opposite: the material base of a society, its forces and relations of production, determines its nature, including its laws, politics and ideas.

The other three statements are standard parts of Marxist theory. Marx presented his ideas as a scientific analysis of history. He held that socialism could come only after capitalism had developed. And he argued that capitalism creates the conditions for its own overthrow, by creating a large working class.
