The philosophical basis of Marxism is referred to as dialectical materialism. For Marx, materialism traces all reality to matter. Matter includes everything we perceive or understand. This is done, as a basic example, by observing, tasting, even by thinking. The mind secrets thoughts according to Marxism. So the materialist contends that everything derives from matter. Therefore, according to Marx, God only exists as a by product of the mind.
The second piece of this philosophy is Dialectical. This refers simply to the manner in which matter acts or changes.
As an aside, dialectical materialism, has not "caught on" in the field of philosophy. Or better said,
mainstream philosophy. Ardent anti dialectical materialist thinkers are said to have thrown this type of thinking into "the dustbin of history".
