The fact that he did poorly in academics does not mean much. Specially considering that some of the world's most revolutionary thinkers are always dismissed in academia. Galileo comes to mind as well as Darwin..who was constantly called "below standard" by his colleagues. Newton was a sucker in school as well. In the way Adam Smith and David Ricardo deserve a fair read by anyone interested in economics, Marx does as well..regardless of whether you agree with his political views or not.
