Wheels within wheels.

Essentially, Marx was wrong in his predictions for the developed capitalist world, because the revisionists were right and the revolutionists were wrong. Revolution was applied to the developed world, with mixed and generally tragic results. Revisionism was applied to the developed world, and despite the temporary resistance of the nationalist-type "socialists" (largely misnamed), succeeded in creating a working mixed economy.

It has continued to develop in Europe and elsewhere, despite recent setbacks because of the Great Recession and the immigrant crisis. The Great Recession was caused by speculation in the USA, which was the result of Reaganomics deregulation and its compromised imitators among the "New Democrats," which stalled or reversed the revisionist progress in the USA that meanwhile continued in other developed countries.

The immigration crisis was caused, in part, by climate change setting a match to the Arab Spring upheavals, especially in Syria. Climate change is also largely a result of Reaganomic policies, which blocked development of energy alternatives, and also a result of imitation of Western dirty energy development by China and others-- as it continued to be pursued in Reaganoid America.
