I consider myself a contemporary marxist, my views have already transcended the triangle ^^

Marx's views fit fine on this triangle. They're mostly in the red area. The communist manifesto outlines his and Engels views well enough. They believed that a totalitarian state by the proleriat was necessary to remove hierarchies and then that state would wither away out of not being a necessity (as social culture would change.) 

That's my point, I adhere to a more modern interpretation of Marx theories, excluding the dictatorship of the proletariat and the 'utopia' afterwards.

Then why call yourself a Marxist? You're just a social democrat/democratic socialist  then. That would be somewhere around where the Greens are. Marx did two things really. He analyzed how the world was and then made predictions about how the world might and should change. You can agree with his assessment of the world while still disagreeing about how it might/should change(which you seem to do.)

Because the Social Democrats and the Greens are still way to soft on the left side for what I would describe myself as. No serious contemporary Marxist talks about the 'dictatorship of the proletariat' anymore, but that doesn't make us Social Dems
