Karl Marx is a social theorist who wrote about social programs that could meet mechanized labor and the forecasted end of human labor.  He was not providing or purporting new economic philosophy.   His social insight, commentary and theory was to ensure a prosperous market in appropriate respect for natural market dynamics with the same consideration and negotiation with government as an economic stakeholder that will take place in any economy with balancing of the various inputs such as the cost of electricity and the cost of education to produce a viable worker; that is a consumer who can understand  how to operate a laptop computer, A/C and "Sat. Nav." in addition to understanding where to put the light bulb for the fog lights or the "bounce" sheet for the dryer.  His work was necessary for the various adjustments away from an economy dependent on human labor but that still needed consumers to generate a profit. Go and look at a driverless vehicle.
