馬恩的思想實際上大大促進了資本主義的自我完善， 不但不是“掘墓”，反而是“延了氣”。相反，在專製國家馬恩的思想則被扭曲成為一種宗教，甚至是邪教，造成了罄竹難書的曆史悲劇，最終自掘墳墓。其實，馬克思本人對民主國家和專製（中央集權）國家如何實現“社會主義”也是區別對待的：
“While he allowed for the possibility of peaceful transition in some countries with strong democratic institutional structures (such as Britain, the US and the Netherlands), he suggested that in other countries with strong centralised state-oriented traditions, like France and Germany, the "lever of our revolution must be force."[
但他恐怕沒有想到，在專製國家實現他的理想比想象中困難得多。而到了恩格斯晚年，德國也開始逐步進入議會民主的階段，他於是提倡通過民主實現社會理念。俺們曾經批判的伯恩斯坦，到是真正傳承了恩格斯的衣缽。
