Marx’s theory of world history is the key to understanding the Marxist theory of world history in the 21st century. The Western classical theories of world history, represented by Kant and Hegel, both hold a theological stance. Marx, through the revolution of worldview, created a paradigm for writing the materialist view of world history, Marx explored the two major world historical issues of “where humanity is going” and “where the world is going” based on “real people”, and constructed a world history theory with a “Anthropological stance”. Therefore, compared with Western classical world history theory, Marx’s world history theory truly turned to concern for the fate of humanity. The Marxist theory of world history in the 2lst century inherits the concern of Marxist theory of world history for the fate of humanity. On the other hand, the ideal vision of “creating a new form of human civilization” and “building a community with a shared future for mankind” has been proposed.
