Communism as a philosophy has many shining points the brightest of which is its highlighting of the capitalist exploitation of labour. Marx has left an indelible imprint on history and is ever more relevant today as capitalism totters the world over on account of its inherent contradictions.
The next great economic upheaval surely will reincarnate Marx in a modified but not unrecognisable manner as new systems evolve to replace old ones, as humanity, groaning under the tyranny of capitalism, redesigns its economic life along more people-oriented modes and methods by marginalising iniquities and fostering more equitable distribution of wealth. Marx, thus, lives on and so does the Marxian legacy in some form or the other.
