Marx on cover of Time in Europe: Capitalism losing legitimacy

by Dan DiMaggio from Socialist Alternative (Canada) 5 February 2009
"A specter is haunting Europe..." Karl Marx made the front cover of the February 2 issue of the European edition of Time Magazine, displaying the weakening confidence of the capitalist ruling elite in their system. This is quite a striking reversal. Less than 20 years ago, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Marx’s ideas were dismissed as dead. Capitalism was seemingly triumphant worldwide.
