===Before Marxism===
Prior to the start of 'proto-Marxism', the concept of proto-communism was somewhat popular in the form of [[Tribalism|Primitive Communism]] as many early Marxists took inspiration from primitve societies and the two concepts functioned similarily.
Proto Marxists can be found in the 'Young Hegelian' school. The Young Hegelians, also known as the Left Hegelians or the Hegelian Left was a group of [[File:Cball-Germany.png]] German intellectuals who, in the decade or so after the death of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Wilhelm_Friedrich_Hegel Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel] in 1831, reacted to and wrote about his ambiguous legacy. Often expanding on the idea of a 'dialectic'. This is where dialectical materialism find's its roots, particularly in the works of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Feuerbach Ludwig Feuerbach].▼
▲Proto
The Young Hegelians drew on Hegel's idea that the purpose and promise of history was the total negation of everything conducive to restricting freedom and reason; and they proceeded to mount radical critiques, first of religion and then of the [[File:Cball-Prussia.png]] Prussian political system. They rejected anti-utopian aspects of his thought that "Old Hegelians" had interpreted to mean that the world has already essentially reached perfection.
