Sempat disebut usang dan sudah tak relevan seiring dengan bubarnya Uni Soviet, pemikiran Karl Marx nyatanya kian mendapat pembuktiannya dengan semakin kencangnya laju krisis demi krisis kapitalisme global pada abad ke-21.
Les seves de Marx anotacions sobre el comunisme no s’han de considerar el model marxista al qual cal adherir-se dogmàticament, ni menys encara les solucions que, segons Marx, haurien d’haver-se aplicat, indistintament, en indrets i èpoques diferents.
En los últimos años de su vida, Karl Marx extendió su investigación a nuevas disciplinas, conflictos políticos, cuestiones teóricas y áreas geográficas.
Of particular value for a re-evaluation of Marx’s achievement was the resumed publication in 1998 of the Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (MEGA²), the historical-critical edition of the complete works of Marx and Friedrich Engels
