description: Absolutely riveting! Marx changed how we think about economics, history, and society itself. Even if you completely reject communism, you can't understand the modern world without understanding Marx. This article is a great jumping-off point.|

description: I grew up in a country heavily influenced by Marxist ideology and honestly, reading this makes me feel conflicted. Yes, he was intellectually brilliant, but I've also seen firsthand how his ideas were weaponized. Great analysis of the man, but please address the human cost too.

description: As someone who teaches 19th-century history, I appreciate the recognition of Marx's significance, but we shouldn't forget the thousands of other thinkers who contributed to revolutionary thought during that era. Marx synthesized ideas that were already circulating among socialists and labor organizers.

description: This is fascinating but incomplete. The excerpt cuts off right when it's getting interesting! I want to know more about HOW his ideas spread so widely across different cultures and continents. What made Marxism so adaptable?

description: Marx's influence is undeniable, though I'd argue the article oversells the "lighthouse" metaphor. His theories inspired both liberation movements AND some of history's most authoritarian regimes. Maybe the real story is more complicated than "brilliant star"?
