Assertion (a): Karl Marx termed early socialists as Utopian socialists.
Reason (r): Utopian socialists attacked the capitalist system itself.
Explanation:
Marx referred to early socialists, such as Fourier, Owen, and Saint-Simon, as "Utopian socialists" because he believed their ideas were idealistic and lacked a practical foundation for achieving socialism.
While Utopian socialists were critical of the capitalist system, they did not engage in a direct attack on capitalism in the same revolutionary manner that Marx did. Instead, they proposed idealized visions of society and often sought reform rather than revolution.

2. A variety of Marxist traditions can be identified including 'Classical Marxism', 'Orthodox Marxism' or 'Dialectical Materialism' and 'Western', 'Modern' or 'Neo Marxism'.
3. The cornerstone Marxist Philosophy is the materialist conception of history.
4. The basis of Marxist tradition is Marx's teleological theory of history.
Choose the correct option from the combination given below
The basis of the Marxist tradition does heavily draw on Karl Marx's teleological theory of history, also known as historical materialism. This theory posits that the development of human societies is driven by material conditions and economic activities. Marx argued that history progresses through a series of stages shaped by the means and relations of production, leading from primitive communism to feudalism, capitalism, and ultimately, socialism and communism.
Marx's perspective is considered teleological because it implies a purpose or end goal to historical development—specifically, the culmination in a classless, stateless society (communism). This progression is seen as inevitable due to the contradictions within each economic system, particularly capitalism, which Marx believed would lead to its own downfall and be replaced by socialism as the working class gains consciousness and overthrows the capitalist structure.
