Idealist and orthodox-Marxist critics alike denied Marx’s Hegelian dialectical lineage
Evidence
Actually, the similarity between Croce’s and Korsch’s positions ceases to be quite so surprising when one remembers that in this case both idealist and materialist set out from a basic denial of the relationship between Marx and Hegel: Croce because he is himself a Hegelian and not a Marxist, Korsch because he believes that genuine Marxism involves the thoroughgoing eradication of Hegelian dialectical elements, which for him are still speculative. — Fredric Jameson, Marxism and Form, 715
