Help me out here, and I am not being a smart ass. But, isn't the point behind "marxism" that it is inevitable? And if so, isn;t the issue a matter or "when," not "if?" thanks

The source became clear when the paper concluded by saying something like "But so far his thought has had no practical consequenses." It was plagiarized from a 1905 encyclopedia.

It would be better if the name of the movement was simply 'socialism" rather than "marxism," but given that we are caught with the name, it is a bit presumptuous to predice too certainly what the the future of the "marxist movement" will be.
