keywords: 

{'marxist theory': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'marxism': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'natural rights': [1, 0, 0, 0]}

Option 1 states that the Marxist theory rejects the concept of the atomized and alienated individual. This means that according to Marxism, individuals are not isolated units but rather interconnected and influenced by their social and economic environment. This statement is correct.

Option 2 states that Marxism supports the idea of natural rights of men and individuals. However, this statement is incorrect. Marxism does not focus on individual rights but rather emphasizes collective rights and the liberation of the working class as a whole.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1 - only statement 1 is correct. The Marxist theory repudiates the idea of the atomized and alienated individual, but it does not uphold the idea of natural rights for individuals.
