Marxism and politics (Marxist introductions)

From a wide range of disparate material, Miliband has reconstructed the main elements of political theory and actual politics which embody Marxism. Focusing on the problems and tensions of the early Marxists, he discusses the Marxist definition of class, the meaning of "the dictatorship of the proletariat," the differences between reform and revolution, and many other issues of central importance to twentieth-century politics.
