These should view themselves as educational movements if they seek to be successful. By so doing they could avoid either inventing the wheel for the 2 or 3 time ‘afresh’ or moving into dead ends, which have already been explored by others before them. When social movements man to use leverage towards social change in efficient manner, then they require both practical political abilities and reliable knowledge regarding the critiqued society and its contradictions. Education is a pivotal means to both ends. The contemporary education concept of leftist movements often remains in line with the authoritarian ideas of a paternalistic relationship towards subalterns which one-sidedly attribute a privileged position to the academia in learning relationships and neglect open processes of self-learning of the people.

However, the idea of a return to Marx is problematic because each generation that embraces a critical approach is faced with new conditions and questions that have changed. Employing the work of Stuart Hall is a particularly fruitful means of updating Marx because it provides us with suitable guidelines with which to re-employ Marx. Hall calls for a Marxism without guarantees that renounces historical-philosophical ultimate justification. He calls for a form of Marxism that engages in theoretical, social and political conflicts and that takes Marx seriously, not just in his strengths, but also in his weaknesses. Consequently, he sets out an approach that could truly provide a foundation with which to undertake the self-renewal of social critique. In this essay we want to find out how to revitalise a fruitful engagement with Marx by utilising Hall’s writings.
