Owing to private ownership of capitalist society, the contradictions of industrial proletariat and industrial bourgeoisie is increasingly prominent. Some intellectuals began to explore some insight in order to liberate the workers in the background of capitalist society. All kinds of theoretical thought began to appear. Proudhon thought is one of them,Proudhon represents the petty bourgeoisie against the big bourgeoisie in capitalist society, trying to find industrial proletariat’s theoretical tools to come true their rights equality. However, Proudhon’s theory was idealistic and lacked real basis of capitalist social production, so that his theory is not a science. Marx based on the reality of the capitalist relationship of production, creating the historical materialism base on dialectical materialism. The book of The Poverty of Philosophy is the first public exposition of Marxist historical materialism. It is the great victory of Marx revealed Proudhon’s idealism and unrealistic petty-bourgeois political economy, for the birth of scientific socialism laid the foundation and it is the creation’s flag of Marxism, at least the important symbol.This paper start to Marx and Proudhon’s evolution of their relationship and capitalist "production" as its main line, paying attention to the internal relations of Marx’s works. In the longitudinal direction explained the progress of Marx(including Engels) from 1844 Manuscripts to The Poverty of Philosophy and linked to the later Das Capital. Economic and philosophical manuscripts in 1844 due to the influence of Hegel and western economists, although launched the study of western political economics, the research object of political economics has not science established. The poverty of philosophy guided by the historical materialism, established the research object of political economics. This paper horizontal studied historical materialism "relations of production" establishment process, from the German Ideology to the poverty of philosophy, and linked to the later Manifesto of the Communist Party. German Ideology has not strict distinction between "communication relationship" and "relations of production", it consider that "communication relationship" with productivity is a pair of basic category, the poverty of philosophy established “relations of production" this economy category, and explains the dialectical movement of productivity and "relations of production", it is the mature application of historical materialism, and explains the revolutionary and science of new world view publicly published.The poverty of philosophy is the successful combination of Marxist philosophy and political economy, and because of this combination, results of the scientific theory. It demonstrates the inevitability and revolutionary of scientific socialism. This paper based on the terms of “production” of capitalist society, in a holistic perspective to analyze The Poverty of Philosophy status in the development of Marxism ideological and the relationship between The Poverty of Philosophy and the Marxist theoretical system.
