marx has phenomenal staying power - you can read him and be amazed at how prescient many of his ideas were, and how far ahead of the curve he was historically, but a number of his conclusions (ie, socialist revolution will occur in the most developed countries) ended up being flat-out wrong. i think it’s a mistake to read him as modern theory (as opposed to interesting historical leftism)
