This articles offers a systematic analysis of the latest findings of Marxist studies in the west.The western Marxist conclusion is quite right that failure of Soviet and East European patterns of socialism does not indicate failure of socialism as a whole.However,their view that Leninism is against Marxism is not justified.These faithful Marxists argue for the feasibility of Marxism today,raising three points to support their thesis:(1),Marxist theory as valuable heritage of all mankind:(2),the intensified contradictions within modern capitalism;and (3),the outstanding achievement of socialist China.We should say that their arguments are sufficient and admirable,though not powerful enough theoretically.For one thing they are right to maintain the point of view of development,wholeness,and practice;for another,they are wrong to explain the multi variant nature of Marxism with different forms of Marxism,and they tend to cut off the links between Marxism and Marxist parties.What is more.they are wrong to consider that Marxist market economics and Marxist theories on power and state are already out of date.Obviously they are concerned about Marxist theories on human development,on criticism of capitalism and establishment of harmonious relationship between nature and mankind.All this can assist us in our theoretical studies as well as in construction of modernization.
