Eclipse and Re-Emergence of the Communist Movement

Description

This book argues that doing away with wage-labour, class, the State and private property is necessary, possible and can only be achieved by a historical break. Such a break would certainly differ from October 1917, yet it would not be a peaceful, gradual, piecemeal evolution either.

Like their historical predecessors—Marx, Rosa Luxemburg, Anton Pannekoek, Amadeo Bordiga, Durruti, and Debord—the authors maintain a belief in revolution. This third English edition is updated to take into account the contemporary political situation; half is new material.

Eclipse and Re-Emergence of the Communist Movement is an exploration of these themes, advocating for profound societal change through revolutionary means.
