Of course, Marx was a messy bitch. But his analysis seems to be remarkably applicable. Petite bourgeois storming the capital, and declining rate of profit are two things he nailed. The man deserves his due credit.
I'm not saying he isn't deserving of admiration, I'm just saying he's not the only thing that matters when it comes to leftism. You don't have to read Marx to know that capitalism is shit (although it helps you understand it better).
I just don't want to gatekeep people out of leftism just because they might not want to read theory.
A reminder that Marx isn't some kind of god and putting people on a pedestal is bad.
