Vandalism of Marx tomb 'proves his enduring power'

Commentators in the United Kingdom have remarked that a recent attack on a Karl Marx monument in London is proof of the "enduring power" of the socialist revolutionary during a time of "growing interest" in his ideas.

Last week, an unidentified vandal attacked a plaque marking the tomb of Karl Marx in North London's Highgate Cemetery, where the German political theorist was buried in 1883.

No suspect has been identified and London's Metropolitan Police has closed its investigation.
