There's no doubt you believe that, and if you would like to salvage what you can with open eyes to the glaring and serious faults in Marx's work, that's fine, though for me it's like trying to save Creationism. Those working to save both Marxism and Creationism seem like they have the same motive - a faith trying to justify a doctrine rather than follow the evidence. I hadn't mentioned it, but Marxism's anti-empiricism is another incredibly serious issue as well that both shows what a freakish 19th c archaism Marxism is, but also undermines enough to not make it seem worth saving the micrograms of baby for the kilos of bathwater.
