Loone's views on Marxism and historical materialism have found resonance in the West.

[3][4] According to Varoufakis, Loone's verdict (as evident in Soviet Marxism and Analytical Philosophies of History) on Soviet Communism is arguably "devastating and coincides with that of many Western scholars Marxist (e.g. Alex Callinicos) and non-Marxist (e.g. Alec Nove) alike″[5] Since 2000, Loone has been professor emeritus at the University of Tartu.
