I thought I would refrain myself from the debate about whether Marxism is valid or not.Sadly enough, most of the participants to whom I am too very grateful assume that Marxism has failed. This is a grave misjudgement. From Plekhanov to Lenin-Trotsky, from Stalin to Mao, and from Gramsci-Lucas to Althusser one finds distortion of Marx. Marxism is yet to be applied , except partially in Paris Commune and Spanish Revolution (1930s).
I am giving a link to another piece of mine in Daily Times (must be read critically)
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2013\09\23\story_23-9-2013_pg3_5.
But I want to draw attention of Mukto-mona members to MEGA, the historic project of publishing Marx and Engels, insulated from 'partyocracy. I wrote an introductory on MEGA in kafila.org, but I would suggest all to read
Publishing Marx and Engels after 1989: The fate of the MEGA
Jürgen Rojahn (http://socialhistory.org/sites/default/files/docs/projects/mega-e98.pdf)
Lastly, my knowledge of Marx and Marxism (Leninism etc) is journalistic, not at all profound.
