Why did Karl Marx and Marxism have such an influence on Soviet Russia and not other countries?

I believe that mentally Russian people are more future oriented than any other nation. Karl Marx wrote about the future, so it was easier for his ideas to be adapted in Russia.

IMHOThe ruling aristocracy was weak, the peasants were angry and desperate and the revolutionaries were well organized and got help from outside. The same thing happened in China, as I recall. It didn't happen in the UK because the ruling aristocracy wer a lot stronger, they made sure that the revolutionaries didn't get organized and the peasants (ordinary people) were not angry and desperate enough to risk what they had got in a revolution.

If you check out my hub about Mortgages and the Middle Ages, you can see more of where I am coming from.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
