Marx is probably the single most important writer in all of history, and it’s honestly unlikely that he will ever be supplanted. The dude gave us the science for understanding how human societies function and how to resolve structural problems. What could be more important than that?
Except that historical materialism shows that civilizations and laws change based modes and relationships of production. So sure, the first set of laws were important, but Marxism allows us to analyze and optimally shape those laws. To me, that is a more important development.

The first code of laws of civilization?
