I think Marx had some very interesting observations about mid-19th century capitalism. Some of those observations remain relevant today, even though we've come a long way since his time (in no small part due to Marxists/labor movements), even considering the last ~30 years of conservative pushback in the US.

Having said that, I still don't think his ideas are a good template for a society. To be fair to the guy, it's not like anyone else seems to have come up with the magic bullet either.
