![]() ![]() ![]() This tradition includes people who may be more or less faithful, who may or may not have been activists, and whose ideas need not have been consistent. I have also tried to help resurrect a subterranean tradition within Marxism that gets obscured by the power and prominence of Leninist organizations (whether Stalinist, Trotskyist, Maoist or others). However, ignorance of their politics and ideas is nothing to be proud of, so I include a variety of classical Engelsian/Lasallean Marxists, from Kautsky to Lenin to Trotsky, for the sake of argument.Īs such, my latest version of this guide has a distinctly different structure and includes many different types of Marxism and finally accords Anarchism its rightful place as a revolutionary tradition, rather than just another utopianism or "petty bourgeois individualism". ![]() I have since drawn the conclusion that Leninism and Trotskyism are bankrupt politically and philosophically and that they represent departures from Marx, not extensions. I have since taken a critical approach to my past politics and while I consider myself a communist now, I cannot say that I am even vaguely the same kind of communist. However, little did I suspect the changes I would go through politically in those years. ![]() I also hoped that I could publish it in a way that other revolutionaries could contribute to, if they so chose. When I first began this list, I simply hoped to compile a useful guide to readings that would offer revolutionaries a broad range of materials. ![]()
