摘　　要：This study presents an overview of the ideological framework of“Western Marxism.”This framework has a number of components,which are described in terms of a series of reductions,determinations,and the suspicions entertained by Western Marxists.The result was a truncated type of Marxism that cut itself off from the Marxist–Leninist tradition.It did so by reducing Marxism to the works of Marx alone and calling this“historical materialism,”which entailed a rejection of Engels’s significant contributions in history,science,and theory,and thus entailed a rejection of the subsequent developments of Marxism.This Western Marxism has been primarily promoted by“freelance intellectuals”with virtually no connection to Workers’or Communist Parties and was determined by an assumed ideological position before a proletarian revolution,was shaped by Western liberalism and imperialism,and has been constantly tempted into religiously inspired utopian versions of socialism.With deep suspicions of the state and national liberation,of science and technology,and of the importance of productive forces,this Western Marxism was always hoping for the ideal revolution(or even better,a peaceful transition)that would very quickly produce a utopian socialist society organised only by the people and without a state.This ideological framework also entailed a dismissal of the actual experience in developing countries of successful proletarian revolutions and the construction of socialism.
