The crumble of USSR and its associates were not the crumbling of Marxism. This fact is known to all those who are impartially judged the events at that time. The people took part in the revolution to change the unjust soceities under the alternative political leaderships whatever were available at those cricial momemts in different nations(as it happenning in middle eastern countries). The hope, the promise the people received from their leaderships have willfully accepted to try out.
Counble is the sincerity of the politicians to adhere to which they promise to their people. No matter what is the policy of the politics. If that sincerity is not exercised then no ism going to be successful. We have plenty of examples of such rules and rulers in the world. Good or bad. Pro-people or anti-people politicians. Both in Marxist or democratic systems in the past and also in the present.
The capitalist system's religion is profit at any cost. The craze of profit makes market prize rise. The people become the slaves of the consumerism as well as the hostage. In this kind of economy we spent the money we don't have, we buy the thing we don't need, we like to impress the people those we don't like. As example the Australians waste 10 billion dollars worth of food only every year, which they through away, some of them without openning the packages. To pay the credit money people over strech thier ability to work doing overtime, weekend work and so on. Thus they disrupt their family and social life and good health.
On the other hand Marxist soceity suppose to take control of profit craze and greedy consumerism. The social justice and previlages are organised through the participation of the people under the political management of the state. The national assets such as minining, varius industires and organisations are owned and operated by the people for the benefit of
whole soceity rather then for the benefit of individuals or special groups.
The current world economic situation is a great example of the failure of this greedy system which indulge in the crazy war every where and make the world unlivable place. In 30's Australia had great depression, so as in the US. Among the 6 billion people in the world 3 and half billion are living in a unsolvant lifestyle. Many are extremely poor, such as in African, middle eastern, north american and asian countries. Those are not necessarily Marxist countries.
The corruption, nepotism are sweeping through the countries where most of the population of world lives today. In India, Pakistan, Bangladesh now people are rising up against it recently. In the middle east that is happening for sometimes now.
Therefore, sincerity, humanly approach and responsible political system is needed which will ensure people's existance as a decent social being. So far Marxism is the contemporary answer for it, if only if, that can be exercised with full sincerity.

- USSR (although a union of soviet "socialist" republics) was a communist country. China, Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba, etc. are communist countries. At least they love to be known by this term. European socialist economies are not socialist countries in Marxian sense.
- Amartya Sen has recently opined that Marx and Mao have not lost irrelevance yet. Prof. Sugata Basu (a professor of a great university) has expressed similar opinion.
- We need both theoreticians and theorists. We must not be critical of them. They have the ability to see the big picture if they have not been sold out sectarian politics. They use theoretical frameworks to understand the complex economies (both national and world). That's why some are Keynesians, some are neo-Keynesians, some are monetarists, and so on. Even politicians belong to one of these groups.
- Neither communism/socialism nor capitalism/free econmies have done perfectly well. Things are still evolving. Imperialism, social imperialism, globalization---all are now great subjects of debate.
- Being the CEO of a corporation and the CEO of a country are two different things. CEO of a corporation needs a narrow mission, narrow vision, and narrow goals. All have to be profit oriented. The great leader of a great country must have broad outlook.

| Correct me if I am wrong, Karl Marx devised the theory of Communism. This theory is too abstract to implement, like asking someone to draw a perfect straight line without a ruler. So, Lenin introduced a derivative of Communism, which is known as Socialism. I am correct? Jiten Roy
