Marx is a giant thinker, not just for the 19th century, but even more so for understanding our contemporary era. No other attempt to develop an understanding of society has been as fertile, provided that “Marxists” move beyond “Marxology”—repeating what Marx could write in his time—by pursuing his method in accordance with new developments in history. Marx himself continuously developed and revised his views in his lifetime. Marx never reduced capitalism as merely a new mode of production. He considered all the dimensions of modern capitalist society, understanding that the law of value does not only regulate capitalist accumulation, but rules all aspects of modern civilization. That unique vision allowed him to offer the first scientific approach relating social relations to anthropology. From that perspective he included in his analyses what is today called “ecology”, rediscovered a century after Marx. It leads to the understanding that communism is not a new and more advanced mode of production but a higher stage in human civilization; and that the road through the socialist transition is a very long road.
