You could extrapolate (or rather interpolate) Schmitt's system in Concept of the Political onto the orthodox Marxist conclusion: whereas the concept of the state presupposes the concept of the political, the concept of a non-state (the apotheosis of Marxist history and historiography) does not exclude the concept of the political. At its core, does Marxism presuppose man to be by nature good or evil? That sounds like a fine starting point. Obviously there would have to be some original research because of Schmitt's engagement with liberalism (-> individualism), but many fair parallels could be drawn.
