Abstract

It is commonly believed that Marx's prediction that communist revolution will take place in advanced capitalist countries is wrong. This paper argues that Marx is not wrong but is misunderstood. This is because Marx's view of revolution is long run in historical terms that has a specific outcome. However, other scholars’ view of revolution is shorter run in historical terms that has no specific outcome. These scholars consequently use their own view of revolution in judging Marx's prediction about communist revolution and arrive at their conclusion. That is, they start with a misguided premise, which leads them to misunderstand Marx's prediction, and arrive at their wrong conclusion.
