Jeremy Corbyn has said he believes everyone “owes a lot to Marx” and that lawmakers can “learn a great deal” from him.
When asked if he considered himself a Marxist he said it was “an interesting question” and "he was a fascinating figure who observed a great deal and from whom we can learn a great deal.
"Marx analysed what was happening in a quite brilliant way. The philosophy around Marx is absolutely fascinating."
Speaking on BBC One’s Andrew Marr show on Sunday, the Labour leadership contender laid out his vision for the future of the party.
Jeremy Corbyn has become the surprise success of the campaign with 103 local branches of the party giving him their support compared with 100 declared for Burham, 87 for Yvette Cooper and just 14 for Liz Kendall, the New Statesman reports.
A private poll seen by the Times last week suggested Corbyn was fifteen points ahead of his nearest rival and could win the leadership.
