Anyhow Marxism is dead I'd argue, socialism as it is practiced by most counties today is not the socialism of Karl Marx but of those whom disagreed with Marxist basic princibles, such as the workers revolution, the catastrophe theory and collasp of the capitalist system, and I'd even argue socialists by in large have grasped onto the notion of Liberal democracy as the only way to achieve socialist goals.
Also on the out is the so called scientific socialism which Marx argued about that 1 (capitalism) + 1 (The worker) + 1 (explotation) + 1 (value) + (wage) = Revolution, in turn = Socialism = Dictatorship of the prolatriate = Communism = Utopia.
I'd say very few people actually believe in Karl Marx's interesting yet absurd understanding of history and dielectics,

This is part of the rights popular mythology, having worked in major industrial corporations I can tell you that it is inncorrect to think that they are any less immune to fat, both are human institutions and both are subject to the same problems.
Are you now or have you ever been a member of the capitalist party?
When I hear that I'll know that the shift to the left has gone just a little to far.

I don't think Marxism is dead. Maybe Stalinism, but not Marxism because that is one of the founding principles of socialism.
