ASt. Simon
BProudhon
CFourier
DEngels ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Engels — Engels is not a Utopian socialist, so the answer is Engels.
Explanation
★Engels is not a Utopian socialist, so the answer is Engels.
★Engels, along with Marx, founded scientific socialism, not Utopian socialism.
★Marx and Engels called earlier reformers Utopian because they dreamed of ideal communities without class analysis.
★Saint-Simon, Fourier and, in Marx's polemic, Proudhon belong to this earlier Utopian current.
★Scientific socialism instead grounds change in class struggle and the laws of historical development.
★Engels co-authored key works with Marx and wrote Socialism: Utopian and Scientific drawing this very contrast.
★So three names are Utopian forerunners, while Engels stands with Marx on the scientific side.
