Marxism's success is that capitalism has yet to even come up with its own brand, or define itself in ways that do not continually involve beating the supposedly dead horse of Marxist thought and influence. Marx's success is that the social sciences owe their existence to his life's work, and that the struggles waged by workers for the conditions we are in danger of losing today gained force and momentum largely by his framework (the anarchists get credit too, keep it in your pants). And his impact amongst the world's intellectuals, politicians, rebels, academics and the public is so large it is immeasurable.

The 20th century was defined by Marxism. That is its legacy.
