Theoretically focus on developing the Marxist paradigm in sociology                                                                        

Abstract: After 1989, there are whole generations for whom the word "Marx" or "Marxism" are necessarily equivalent of communism and totalitarianism. But a careful reading of Marx and his followers showed that his and their art has a number of situations that deserve attention in terms of modern development of societies in terms of sociology. Marxism is ambiguous term used mostly to mean a system of views of Karl Marx formed after 1845 as well as interpretations of the views of Marx and updating them (including the principle of complementarity and correction) based on new scientific and historical material.  The article shows the basics of theoretical developments of social thinkers after Marx associated with the development of the Marxist paradigm: Engels, K. Kautsky, E. Bernstein, R. Luxembourg, H. Marcuse, K. Mannheim, T. Botomor, J. Habermas and others. Displays and that the Marxist paradigm in sociology still has its fervent supporters and modernity, as indicated above its key messages, still disturb the imagination of sociologists, wide circles of society and especially - its poor and disadvantaged layers.  Marxism is inextricably linked to the intellectual history of the modern world. To ignore or reject it means to make a deliberately false-interpretation of the recent past. Marxist project is part of the big progressive narrative of modernity and postmodernity. It connects with the hope of transformation of society and a better future for humanity.
