Since the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, political and ideological interests in Marxism had waned. Academic interest on it had however lingered on. Although Marx and Engels did not anticipate that rural Russia and her Lenin will stage the first successful revolution, the fact of its happening led to tremendous economic development and political explanation on the study of revolutionary Marxism. This work which was premised on doctrinal method sought to revisit the critiques that followed the emergence of socialism in one country. It sought to look back on the era and raise the issues which were considered then as areas of significant disputations that time and further research were to address and resolve especially in the face of the Russo-Ukrainian war since 2022. The work found that Marxism’s claim to scientific methodhas faced serious problem of analysis of predictions and suggestion of goodwill among the citizens of communist states. It found that Marxism was able to give a revolutionary theory to fight capitalism in the context of a divided world prism but has remained unable to surmount it.
