Back to the future: The continuing relevance of Marx

In the Manifesto of the Communist Party Marx and Engels wrote: ‘The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society.’ Marx thought enough of these words to reproduce them in Capital. Much of what has been written by Marxists since Marx has been to document that statement, but not always with an understanding of its total meaning. Some writers complain, a century after his death, that Marx did not document the working out of his predictions. What this position reflects is an unwillingness to understand and use Marx's methodology, as Lenin did in his work on imperialism.
