I'm not going to do a literature search in a field that's not my own just to satisfy someone on HN, but I will give you two paraphrased quotes from classes I took: - "How the 'Dictatorship of the Proletariate' was ever supposed to just naturally fade away was left undiscussed, and clearly never occurred." - "Marx's writing, while a well-reasoned critique of capitalism, failed to provide a workable alternate solution." Both of these were from fairly leftist professors. One should note that, at this point, "Western Systems" are really all that's left, so yes, there's going to be more criticism of them. The Soviet Union collapsed. And China is now some sort of weird hybrid system - and if you're seriously going to argue that there's not academics in the humanities criticizing China, I really don't know what to say.
