The essays collected in this book reflect the author’s conviction that the Marxist tradition can be kept alive as an essential political component of the Left not through dutiful conservation, but through ruthless recycling. The book draws lessons from the blind alleys to which Marxist thought led, and preserves and develops the most precious insights it contains. In particular, it spells out and defends the controversial notion of a "capitalist road to communism" that would remain true to the Marxian ideal while embracing capitalism.

This is an anthology in English translation of the major texts concerned with the nineteenth-century debates between democratic socialism and revolutionary Marxism. The central figure is Eduard Bernstein, a leading German social democrat and former associate of Engels, who argued that Marx’s analysis of society had been overtaken by events, and that his doctrine of revolution should be replaced by a policy of evolutionary reform by democratic means. The ensuing controversy between Bernstein and his opponents (Bebel, Kautsky, Parvus, Rosa Luxemburg, and Belfort Bax) helped create the spli

The spectacular growth of Marxist literature on politics and the state in capitalist society has been widely hailed as cumulative proof of Marxism’s success in producing an effective theory of the political superstructure. More generally, it has been seen as confirmation of the health and vigor of Marxist theory. Axel van den Berg raises serious questions about both claims. Through comprehensive analysis of Marxist thought on bourgeois politics and the state, from that produced by Marx himself to the present, van den Berg radically challenges the viability of a distinctly Marxist theory

When the ecological movement emerged in the 1960s, it warned that continued consumerism and growth would lead to ecological catastrophe. This "green" philosophy represented a challenge to the basic tenets of Marxism, which traditionally ignored issues of ecological sustainability. Tracing the history of the integration of ecological understanding with Marxist philosophy, The Greening of Marxism explores the influence of green politics on Marxism, examines the new politics emerging from these movements, and shows how red -green alliances can transform the political landscape.
