Political Writings by Karl Marx
In 1864, after more than a decade, Karl Marx (1818-83) put aside theoretical writing and returned to active politics. Yet the crucial texts of his later years - notably "The Civil War In France" and "Critique of the Gotha Programme" - count among his most important work. All go beyond "The Communist Manifesto" and apply the insights of "Capital" to major international events. Some offer analysis of the tragic but inspiring failure of the Paris Commune, German unification, the Irish question, the Polish national movement and the possibility of revolution in Russia. The founding documents of the First International and polemical pieces attacking the disciplines of Proudhon and Bakunin and the advocates of reformism, by contrast, reveal a tactical mastery that has influenced revolutionary movements ever since.| SKU | Unavailable |
