It's Marxism that has traditionally provided the skeptic of capitalism an ideal lens for analyzing its numerous failures. An adequate understanding of capitalism cannot be gained without adaptation of Marxist elements. Now, most people are inclined to regard Marxism in a very skewed way, merely equating it with the most authoritarian aspects of Leninism (which many socialists regard as a pseudo-socialist ideology) without considering the fact that Marx was actually primarily concerned with criticism of capitalism and spent scarcely any time or resources focusing on socialist/communist organizational theory in comparison to the sheer breadth of his focus on capitalism (compare Das Kapital to the Manifesto, for example).So, while I personally frown upon much of Marx's organizational theory and am ultimately an anarchist rather than a Marxist as a result, I recognize his tremendous anti-capitalist contributions that all socialists can profit from.
