I think of Marx as an economist, whose main contribution was a theory of crisis. From that perspective, it was Keynes who killed off Marxism. Marxist economists have had little or nothing to say about the crises of the last 50 years: the arguments have all been between Keynesians and their opponents.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I think your post gets to the nub of the matter. I have to leave it to others, alas, to defend the action guiding nature of Marxism today and in the future.
