Perhaps because of this, his ideas about the state, governments, political struggles, and social revolutions have been propounded and interpreted in many ways by many different parties. Marx never wrote a work on political theory comparable to Capital. This is ironic since Marx intended his critique of capitalist economies to be the intellectual buttress for his theory of revolution.
At Karl Marx’s burial, his lifelong friend Frederick Engels said that he was “above all, a revolutionist.” Yet, after 150 years, his critique of political economy is arguably better understood and respected than his political theory of working-class revolution.
