Das Kapital is intended to be the origin of species of its realm of economic thought and represents years and years of work of Marx laboring in the British Museum Library, Working through statistics, working on little bits and pieces of a larger answer to big historical questions that he believes that he's arrived at.

Its tone is different from that of the Communist Manifesto, which is a call to arms. It announces with great confidence what the scheme of history will be. But rather than urging that the answer might be passivity and just waiting for history to play out in its preordained way, it's also a clarion call to make the revolution happen and is intended to be a pragmatic, practical statement of

So I think that Marx would probably have responded that, in fact, those things are indivisible. The analysis as sort of purely theoretical certainly can be performed on any economic reality that you care to mention, but the imperatives that grow out of that economic analysis are political. Marx and Engels emphasize the unity of theory and practice. So it's not enough to dispassionately analyze.

You sometimes hear from undergraduates that they've heard from their high school history teachers that Marxism was just a theoretical construct and the idle production of a philosopher who was not connected to the world and was never meant to be tried in practice.

Marx would have been furious to hear this, and it's almost heroically wrong as a historical statement, because Marx insisted that all previous philosophers have theorized about reality. What now is really necessary is to change it.
