I'm not entirely sure what the phrase "Marxist Theory" is specifically referring to, to be honest.
Stuff like this?
"Labor is not the source of all wealth. Nature is just as much the source of use values (and it is surely of such that material wealth consists!) as labor,..."

Ah it rather depends on how you define labor. I suppose inanimate matter (Nature?) is not to be considered as labor. It is though, plants labor every day. All life processes in a way are a form of productive labor. Life exists in spite of the second law of thermodynamics. This is due to the energy supplied from the sun and various methods of capturing and utilizing that energy. Surplus wealth is stored in the form of seeds, muscle or structural materials. Human labor then adds value.
