In the west, Marx is presented as being well meaning but completely irrelevant.
Unless you happen to be one of the people in the west the upper class needs to actually be able to understand reality, then he is crucial.
Like i have a lawyer friend who had to study both marx, engels and max weber as its essential to understanding UK law. If your job requires you to interpret complex social reality their is just no substitute.
For sure, and I'd argue that the ruling class in the west understands Marxism quite well in general. They know they're fighting a class war.
