Synopsis

'From Class Society to Communism: Introduction to Marxism' is a comprehensive yet simply written book which tries to give clear answers to the basic questions which any enquiring persons looking at the world will ask themselves. What are the economic roots of social inequality? What are the differences between this society and previous class societies? Where does profit originate? How did the modern labour movement develop? Why is social revolution necessary to liberate the working class? How does bureaucracy develop in the labour movement? What is the role of a revolutionary party? How did the world become divided into rich and poor nations? What is the nature of states like the USSR, China, and those in Eastern Europe? How would a society managed by the workers run itself? The answers to these and many other questions make up and continuous whole. They derive from the Marxist approach called dialectical and historical materialism which is discussed at the end of this book.
