'''Darwin-Marx Connection''' describes [[Karl Marx]], the father of [[Communism]], as sharing the same viewpoint of [[Charles Darwin]].

In correspondence between Engels and Marx regarding [[Natural selection]], December 19, 1860 Marx writes <ref>Conway Zirkle, Evolution, Marxian Biology, and the Social Scene (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1959), pp. 85-87</ref>{{cquote| 'During my time of trial, these last few weeks, I have read all sorts of things. Among others, Darwin's book of Natural Selection. Although it is developed in the crude [[English]] style, this is the book which contains the basis in natural history for our view'.}}

Also written in the book ''"Evolution, Marxian Biology, and the Social Scene"'', Marx wanted to dedicate [[Das Kapital]] to Darwin. In the book '' 'Ever Since Darwin' '', a copy of the first volume of Das Kapital is inscribed by Marx--describing himself as a "sincere admirer" of the English naturalist. <ref>Stephen Jay Gould, Ever Since Darwin (New York: W. W. Norton and Co., Inc., 1977), p. 26.</ref>
