Critique of the Gotha Programme
To be understandable this demanding but crucial work by Marx requires discussion of its context. The "Critique" was a response to a unification program of the two major workers organizations in Germany in 1875 in the city of Gotha. The older and dominant group was the General Association of German Workers, formed by Ferdinand Lassalle in 1863. The more recent workers organization was the Social-Democratic Workers Party, forged by Wilhelm Liebknec…
“Preface” to A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy
Marx's first sustained exploration of political economy was the Critique. It is not often read today because much of the material was treated more methodically eight years later in Capital. In fact, this brief preface is probably the most read part of the original, and for good reason. It is a compressed but often quoted overview of Marx's self-described intellectual journey and also of the materialist theory of history, or historical materialism…
Manifesto of the Communist Party
Translated into innumerable languages, Isaiah Berlin called the Manifesto "a great revolutionary hymn." "No other modern political movement or cause can claim to have produced anything comparable with it in eloquence and power."1 The work was written for the League of Communists in late 1847 and published in London (in German) in early 1848. The League was an association of German exiles in London, Brussels, and Paris forged in order to promote p…

Habermas and Contemporary Society
Over the last four decades Jürgen Habermas has forged an innovative and much-discussed theory of contemporary capitalist society. Building on Max Weber's thesis that the dynamic of capitalism actually
Citizens and Classes: Political Isolation and Class Formation
Contrary to frequently expressed hopes and expectations, there is a recurring argument by some theorists in the Marxian tradition that the typical structures and processes of capitalist democracy actively obstruct the political organization of workers as a class. This essay brings together various aspects of this argument, especially as developed in the works of Lukács, Pashukanis, Poulantzas, Przeworski, and Katznelson. The thesis ultimately cal…
Hannah Arendt's Argument for Council Democracy
Critics of Hannah Arendt's argument for council democracy have focused primarily on structural questions, generally to the neglect of both the alternative political principles she believed council democracy embodies and her interpretation of historical examples of council democracy. The result has been a certain ambiguity, which the author of this article seeks to dispel. He analyzes what Arendt has had to say about the idea of council democracy,…
