Marx's contributions to sociology are definitely relevant today, even if they're not in vogue. Even if they're wrong. This is human behavior we're talking about, and people have memories that they act upon.
- icantdrive55 10y agoMarx was an Economist. I forget the exact amount of pages he wrote on sociology, history, or philosophy; I believe it was ten pages of this thoughts. And that's what people remember. He wrote 10,000 pages of economic theory. I can't say they are wrong, or right--I haven't read his complete work. I doubt Russia bothered to read, and implement his theories to the tee. I don't think we can honestly evaluate wether he might be wrong, or right. (I wonder if his plan might work if they could ever take nepotism, and corruption out of the equation. It seems like nepotism, and corruption taint every economic theory?)
