Not much to write home about. Little was known in Europe in Marx's day, and he tended to write off pre-colonial societies. Some see an African variant of a stagnant "Asiatic mode of production", others a local feudalism with some slavery thown in, some a slave-based economy developing feudal elements. A few adventurous souls have hypothesised an "African mode of production" based on village organisation modified by long-distance trade.

Was Marc bloch marxist?

No, but neither was he an anti-Marxist. Like Marxists he emphasised the role of broad social forces rather than individuals in shaping history, and like marxists he was interested in patterns in history rather than the identification of single defining events. He did not, however, see reason to privilege 'class struggle' or 'technological determinism' as overarching driving forces for all of history, so he was not a historical materialist and therefore not a Marxist.

How was socialism different from Marxist?

Socialism is an economic system based on public or cooperative ownership of the means of production, worker's self-management and collective decision-making in enterprises, and production for use. Marxism is an economic and sociological theory on capitalism, economic development and social class that predicts socialism to be an outcome of economic and technological development. Many socialists agreed with Marxist or quasi-Marxist analysis and theories, but not all socialists agree with or are Marxist. In short, Marxism is a theory; Socialism is a system.

How far is marxist theory of social development relevant?

Marxist theory of social development is not relevant now. Human beings will never abandon their right to private possession of things, whether they be cultivative land, their husbands and wives, or children. Community possession of products or resources have been experimented with in several ages and they have always failed as is evidenced by the overpowering urge for private possession. Or, the emotional nature of human mind has to go which never will. Marxist theory of social development is derived from three sources, three roots, which are English Economics, French Socialism and German Philosophy. Unless these three characters of Marxism wither away, the emotional nature of human mind will make Marxist development of society irrelevant.
