Marx

Those who start jumping with ants in the pants syndrome at the mere mention of the name Karl Marx , are either ignorant idiots or cunning devils. They are either accessories to exploitation or want it to perpetuate by a process of mutation to safeguard their own interests. 

And those who call themselves Communists ( of various shades ) are somewhere in between. Frankly speaking, Karl Marx is the elephant which the various type of blind people calling themselves as Communist are still groping about , without realising the full shape of the object . 

What these people need is to come out of the confines of dogma and apply the Marxist theories in line with the huge technological advances made after almost one and half centuries of his demise . Society has changed, social classes have changed , the nature of exploitations have changed . These needs to be integrated and assimilated in their thought process.

But as long as people are exploited and lured by the use of material benefits , mainly money ( or wealth) , Marx will remain relevant. There is no way any power can obliterate his memory or his thoughts. Whether we subscribe to his philosophy or not , deep in our hearts we will know that he was right and remain so .
