Yes, but as I stated in #74 Marxism has incorporated its view of Darwinian evolution into its ideology. Remember, a good Marxist felt that its ideology not only was the key to history - dialectical materialism - but it was an all-embracing ideology that explained scientific phenomena in terms of its laws. Likewise, Hegel didn't (and couldn't have) know anything about Marxism but Karl Marx used his idealistic (idealistic in the philosophical definition) evolutionary system and reinterpreted it in terms of materialism. As Marx said, "I stood Hegel right side up."

Thus demonstrating the insanity of Marxism, because if they really understood evolution, they'd take a "hands off" approach to economics, letting the economy develop according to its own dynamics, and then they'd all be disciples of Adam Smith.
