In Defence of Marxism – Paperback-Fast Shipping

Description

by
Leon Trotsky (Author),
Rob Sewell (Introduction by)

This book is correctly regarded as one of Trotsky’s finest classics. It is a product of a sharp polemic within the American trotskyist movement during the period 1939-40. This was a dispute which touched on the very fundamentals of Marxism. It was for this reason that Trotsky himself participated in this struggle in the form of a series of articles and letters that are brought together in this volume.

The issues covered concern the essence of Marxist theory and deal with such questions as:

• The class nature of the Soviet state.
• The defence of the Soviet Union against imperialist attack.
• Bolshevik principles of organisation.
• Dialectical Materialism.

This book is Trotsky at his best: profound, concise and theorectically razor sharp.
