Thoughts on Marxism?

[d33p]

Well, Marx's Capital is pretty significant.

So are washing machines

I love them. If not Marx, who is someone that you find to be influential to how you see the world?

marx was a bit of a racist and an antisemite

True, but so was Darwin and other prominent thinkers. But Darwin's theory of evolution isn't less valid because of his acceptance of racist ideas. Likewise, Marx's ideas about capitalism and class relations are still useful for understanding a lot about philosophy, politics, and economics. I'd argue that a Marxist analysis is useful for combatting racism and antisemitism.
