We will be lucky if Marxism survives as a viable political project in the long run. How long China, Vietnam and North Korea can survive as nominally Marxist-Leninist Regimes? Ten years? Twenty years? I don't know. If and when, these CPs cease to be ruling parties, it will be even more difficult for Marxism to survive in Asia. I will happy if I am proved wrong.
