How is marxism expressed in Oscar Wilde's "An Ideal Husband?"

Marxism is a super wide and broad concept to reduce to one
aspects of this particular play.

However, if we go with
Lenin's tripartite version of Marxism, we see that they are a) critique of political
economy, b) philosophy of materialism and, c) socialist
politics.

Some of the characters exemplify some of these
elements:

Lord Goring, for example, lives above his means,
has no intention to work, yet expects to live off his father. His father talks about
buying him a seat in the House of Lords, to which Lord Goring scoffs off saying how
tedious the House of Lords is "when" they have to work (not that they do
anything).

Lady Chiltern is the epitome of charity and
social grace. Yet, Lord Goring consistently puts down this "modern necessity" for
charity and philanthropy. In fact, this is a topic also present in "The Picture of
Dorian Gray", "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "A Woman of no Importance"- the
excessive preoccupation of charity for the sake of attaining social
standing.

Sir Robert Chiltern and Mrs. Chevely are also an
examples of the marxist obsession with materialism and the recklessness of obtaining it
by any means, even if the means are illegal. Power is
everything.

In all, the major characters indeed represent
fragments of the tripartite version of Marxist thought, and it was Wilde's way of
criticizing the hypocritical Victorian society.
