Marxism is a good meme, useful for survival of the society. Just have a brief look at China.

China hasn't been Marxist in decades. Authoritarian, yes, but not Marxist. Note that they didn't become a significant international player until after they scrapped the Maoist stuff. Before that they were having famines. Just as Venezuela is now having a famine.

And yes, I'm aware that on some level China still describes itself as Marxist, just as the United States still describes itself as a democratic federal republic.
