Marxism has never collapsed. The collapse of the Soviet Union is often refered to as the "collapse of Communism" however. In regards to Marxism, many within mainstream academia say that Marxism is done and that it can't tell us anything or much about the world anymore but others in more radical circles rejecct this view, they often argue that Marxism is more relevant now than ever in spite of what mainstream academics might say. Although in the last few years there has been some acknowledgement in the mainstream that Marxism is not irrelevant, particularly Marxist political economy.
