Marx got many things right (overcapacity for example) and many things wrong (that socialism leads to communism for starters). None in political/economic theory & philosophy is completely right or completely wrong because this is the nature of those disciplines.
If you have the time and the interest go read that stuff yourself and draw your own conclusions. After you dedicate the years to become educated i bet that your personal worldview will be a mix of everything, key word is personal cause all the universally accepted dogmas exist to force agendas.
You mean read thousands of pages by self-aggrandizing, limp-wristed, do-nothing, naval gazing, fartsniffers who thought really fucking highly of themselves despite never accomplishing an actual achievement in their pampered lives? Who intentionally made the writing unclear so they could claim it wasn't understood correctly when their utterly ass-pulled hallucinations of made-up bullshit created inevitable pushback? Or so that they could put themselves in permanent "guru" status so nobody could "do it right" without their oversight?
Fuck that noise. "Intellectuals" should be universally mocked and ignored.
Believe it or not some people enjoy reading political theory & philosophy like others enjoy games and/or anime.
Maybe the subject is not for you yet you are mocking me of how i like to spend my free time because it does not suit your tastes. You are doing that on kotaku in fucking action board...
As a counter-point, I present Hoppe's What Marx gets Right.
tl;dw: We live under a dictatorship of the proletariat where the people own the means of production, and it sucks.
