This collection features readings from influential figures such as Karl Marx, Frederick Engels, Rosa Luxemburg, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and Antonio Gramsci, encapsulating the labor, socialist, and communist movements that have significantly shaped modern history. The selections emphasize working-class revolution, presenting key political concepts like class consciousness, trade unionism, international solidarity, and the dynamics of revolution versus reformism. This volume uniquely compiles substantial political works from these authors, offering insights into the working-class struggle for cultural hegemony and the relationship between democracy and socialism. Paul Le Blanc's introductory essay examines the structure and dynamics of Marxism, highlighting connections among the readings, including capitalist development, labor movement theory, revolutionary strategy, and the transition to socialism. The essay also addresses other Marxist figures such as Plekhanov, Kautsky, Stalin, and Mao, alongside critiques from thinkers like Sidney Hook, Bertram D. Wolfe, and C. Wright Mills. Historical reflections intertwine with discussions on capitalism's resilience, the disillusionment surrounding workers' revolution, the "collapse of communism," and contemporary issues related to race, gender, the environment, and the challenges of the twenty-first century.
