After the global financial crisis of 2008 almost precipitated the collapse of the world economy, more and more people have turned to the ideas of Karl Marx to help them understand the failures of capitalism and provide a vision for a different kind of society. In 2018, as even Teen Vogue are publishing articles about Marx, we ask what it means to be a communist today. Is it possible to separate the idea of communism from gulags and secret police? Two hundred years after his birth, are Marx’s ideas still relevant and can they help us to overcome the crises englufing our planet?
