Abstract: The relationship between Foucault and Marx remains a contentious issue, characterized by both their close connections and theoretical divergences, further complicated by Foucaults own contradictory and ambiguous statements on the matter. On one hand, Foucault explicitly denied being a Marxist, yet he frequently referenced—often without explicit attribution—Marxs concepts and methodologies. On the other hand, he claimed that his genealogy of power originated from Marx, particularly from the second volume of Capital, though he never provided a detailed theoretical elaboration. This paper begins with Foucaults explicit acknowledgment of the second volume of Capital to explore the intellectual course from Capital to the genealogy of power, thereby clarifying the theoretical relationship between Foucault and Marx. The discussion focuses on three key issues: first, Foucaults theoretical distinction between Marx and Marxism; second, the theoretical linkage between the second volume of Capital and Foucault's genealogy of power; and third, the  prospects of the theories of Foucault and Marx in the era of digital capitalism.
