Global Marxism’s failures stem from imposing Marx’s Eurocentric scenario worldwide.

Evidence

The misadventures of international communism might teach us something about the violent consequences of imposing the most fragile part of Marx, the predictive Eurocentric scenario, upon large parts of the globe not historically centered in Europe. It is to ignore the role of capitalism in these scripts to read them simply as various triumphs of liberal democracy. — Donna Landry and Gerald MacLean, The Spivak Reader, 1148
