The ideas of Marx et Al are based on material conditions, hence materialistic. It means that your ideologies are based on material conditions, or based on what reality is. Hence, scientific socialism.

Idealistic is the opposite, meaning that your ideologies are based on ideas; you think that things are this way because they should be this way. Which doesn’t really make sense.
