    90% of the emphasis should be on how those ideas apply to the problems of today

    I see this argument brought up a lot but nobody has brought up how Marx or Lenin's analyses have actually fallen out of date or how labor relations have changed since then.

      this, i think its all still remarkably cogent today. Some of the stuff is honestly prescient, it makes even more sense in todays context. I cant quote it directly, but I think Marx even wrote about the rise of branding well before it happened.
