'The weapon of criticism cannot, of course, replace criticism of the weapon, material force must be overthrown by material force; but theory also becomes a material force as soon as it has gripped the masses.' - Karl Marx

The marketplace of ideas and great men also move history, it's just that in a way that is less important than materialism.

Without a Marx noticing everything and spreading his ideas, we wouldn't be here. And without great men like Lenin or Mao things would also be drastically different. What put everything in motion was the material conditions so it's always the most important thing, but the material conditions create ideas and great men.

It's the reason the bourgeoisie is constantly creating anti proletarian myths like "self made man" or whatever. The ruling class uses ideas as a weapon, and while ultimately material conditions will make even the most stubborn idiots realize the truth, ideas can delay it from happening, and so can important leading figures like Donald Trump who has been a retard-whisperer for some time now.

most of marx's work wasnt even published in his lifetime, and works like capital vol. 2 and 3 were edited by engels. marx was not an island.

I think Plekhanov's formulation is the best.

Why was Marx able to come up with his theory of history? You might say because he had access to the ideas of others before him, but even those ideas were able to develop because of the development of scientific technology and social organization. Historical materialism would be impossible without a mountain of resources to make such a historical theory from. Dialectical materialism would be impossible without sufficient scientific development which requires experimentation with developed technology. His critique of philosophy required the theories of Proudhon, Fichte, etc to develop, which required capitalist relations in order to be able to criticize property or praise nationalism.
