Amongst some curious articles on the BBC News site - where to go to the toilet and what to do if you are attacked by a crocodile, there is this article about revolutions. I think you could use this as a fresh way of evaluating the Marxist perspective. Ask students two simple (looking) questions:
1. How many of the revolutions in the article conform to Marx’s theory (i.e. working class revolution to overthrow capitalists).
2. What are the weaknesses in the Marxist theory - and they are not allowed to just say that Marx is wrong!
