The question “Is Marxism dead?” invites not just historical reflection but urgent contemporary inquiry. Emerging from the 19th century’s industrial upheavals, Marxism offered a radical critique of capitalism and a vision of classless society. Its opponents cite the collapse of the Soviet Union, the shift of socialist states towards market economies, and the dominance of neoliberal globalization as proof of its irrelevance. Supporters argue that growing wealth inequality, exploitative labour conditions, corporate monopolies, and ecological crises confirm Marx’s warnings. Far from being an obsolete doctrine, they see Marxism as an evolving lens for analyzing power and justice in the 21st century. The core debate now lies in whether Marxism’s failures were due to flawed theory or flawed implementation, whether it can adapt to identity politics and technology-driven economies, and whether a post-capitalist future is possible without it. In a world wrestling with both extreme wealth and extreme poverty, the ghost of Marx still walks among us, demanding that we answer—not dismiss—its questions. Main Points for Discussion: • Was the fall of Soviet communism the death of Marxism or just one failed experiment? • Are Marxist critiques of capitalism still valid in the globalized, digital economy? • Can Marxism coexist with democracy and individual freedoms? • How does Marxism address contemporary issues like climate change, AI, and identity politics?
