How the "Occidental Marxism" was born and died

Abstract

For a long time the “occidental Marxism” celebrated its superiority over the Marxism established in countries located in the Orient, to where the socialism was related. Due to this arrogante attitude, the occidental Marxism has never endeavored to rethink Marx’s theory upon a concrete historical summary: what was the role of the State and Nation in these countries and in the “socialist field”? How to promote the democracy and the human rights and how to estimulate the development of the productive forces and people’s welfare within a situation featured by the capitalist interdiction? Instead of opposing to those difficult questions, the occidental Marxism preferred to remain at a comfortable and self-consolating attitude, cultivating their particular utopias and rejecting, as a contamination, the contact to and the reflection about the reality. As a result, it was derived a progressive capitulation to the dominat ideology. At last, the occidental Marxism self-celebration came out to its self-dissolution.
