There has never been a socialist revolution in any industrialised nation, but socialism failed in most of the countries it was being tried to be implemented in for many reasons. The major reason is that those countries were so poor and did not offer much materially for the development of socialism. Marx and Engels always said that socialism would have to be developed on the basis of a great material surplus otherwise it would fail and class struggle would almost certainly start up again.

Marxism faced challenges in industrialized countries due to factors such as strong capitalist systems, entrenched class interests, and the presence of democratic institutions that were not conducive to a complete overhaul of the economic system. Additionally, the failure of Marxist regimes in practice, such as in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, contributed to a skepticism towards Marxist ideology in industrialized countries.

Is Europe industrialized?
no, despite europe and mainly the british empire ushering in the modern world and age of industry, europe is not industrialized. +++ Oh yes it is! It is also very agricultural and most European countries also have a large tourist trade, but although a lot of mass-production work has gone to the Far East, between them the countries of Europe host all manner of manufacturing and service industries.

How does marxism work?
Marxism is a social, political, and economic theory developed by Karl Marx that emphasizes the struggle between the working class (proletariat) and the owning class (bourgeoisie). It advocates for the eventual overthrow of capitalism through a revolution and the establishment of a classless society where the means of production are owned collectively. Marxism also highlights the importance of collective action, empowerment of the working class, and the pursuit of social equality.
What ideas did Lenin add to Marxism to create Marxism Leninism?
Lenin work is probably the most important within Marxism since Engels died and he had quite a few very significant ideas. One is his work on imperialism, he was the first to properly recognise that capitalism has changed and entered a new stage defined by monopoly and a new form of control by the wealthy countries over the rest of the world. Another is his conception of how a socialist party should organise and work for the realisation of the revolution, his concept of democratic centralism and so forth. Marx and Engels wrote very little at best about this topic. Note: Lenin never established Marxism-Leninism as a distinct trend of Marxist thought, that was done later by Stalin. Stalin almost always distorted not just the ideas of Lenin but of Marx and Engels as well to serve his purpose of trying to provide some sort of messed up ideological justification for his dictatorship.
In what ways does capitalism differ from Marxism?
In pretty much every way you can think of. Under Marxism, there is no individual wealth. Under capitalism, that's everyone's goal. As described by Marx & Engles in their early writings Marxism/Communism is the ultimate inevitable economic system resulting from the historically unavoidable collapse of capitalism. It is seen as a spontaneous transition/break that could be neither hindered nor assisted, but only waited for. When the time was right the change would happen in the vast majority of industrialized capitalist countries almost simultaneously, then spread to the remaining industrialized capitalist countries, then finally to the poor agrarian colonial countries. Yes, there would be no wealth but also no poverty; the state would know everyone's exact abilities and needs seeing that every individual that could work got their ideal job and whether they could work or not got every need satisfied. The workers would not need to be paid and neither would they need to buy anything. The already preexisting universal capitalist system of company towns housing workers and their families and company stores serving those towns would be used by the new state to provide the needs of the people. The excess wealth already generated by the preceding capitalist system of the wealthy industrialized capitalist countries was seen as being more than adequate to fund the new communist system replacing it... forever. Later Marxists like Lenin got impatient with "historical inevitability" and tried accelerating the process before all the required conditions for the collapse of capitalism could come about. We see where that got them. Many of the conditions that Marx & Engles considered universally inevitable (e.g. company towns & stores) turned out to be only transient phenomena of the business environment of their time.

Is marxism good?
Opinions on Marxism vary. Some see it as a framework for understanding and addressing societal issues like inequality and exploitation, while others criticize it for its historical implementations and perceived shortcomings in practice. Ultimately, whether Marxism is "good" or not is subjective and depends on one's perspective and values.
