Remember, it's very difficult to assume what Marx himself would have had to
say about anything that happened in the 20th century, since he died in 1883. He
believed he was creating a scientific approach to analyzing history, based on
the evidence he'd seen. If he saw contrary evidence, he would have corrected
himself. I don't think it's fair to blame Marx for what has been done in his
name since he died.
And on the M's let's mention Machiavelli and Malthus too! Those dumbass dead guys sure made a lot of mistakes! If it hadn't been for them I'm sure we'd be a lot more advanced now . It's great that our modern intellectuals don't make any mistakes any more :)
