There has been a long line of Marxist critique which acknowledges the atrocities of Stalinism and questions the state fixation of the traditional reading of Marxism, while still being able to deliver a notion of non-capitalist futures. Namely Moishe Postone, Michael Heinrich and Bini Adamczak, to name only a few.
Though few will believe it, Marxists can be wrong too. Especially when their paycheques depend on it.
