Logical Influence of Hegel on Marx

[trivas7]

Is it possible to accept the Marxist theory while at the same time denying the validity of the three central Hegelian principles, which may be stated as follows : (1) the internality of relations, (2) the inseparability of identity and difference, (3) the partial and relative nature of all finite truths? From the language of both Marx and Engels, it cannot be doubted that they accepted these principles, and even argued for some of them vigorously. Nevertheless, it seems that the essential features of the Marxist theory may be stated in such a way that they are independent of the Hegelian philosophy. Principles, which when first considered, especially in the terminology of Marx and Engels, seem to fit in with the Hegelian logic, and therefore to be contrary to the accepted non-Hegelian tenets of logic, turn out, on closer examination to be but a peculiar way of stating ideas which in no manner conflict with the common-sense view of things.

From an essay by Rebecca Cooper, 1925:

Too bad then that Marx rejected everything Hegelian by the time he wrote Das Kapital.

We have debated this her many times before (and you mystics lost every time):
