The book provides a realist interpretation of Marx's critique of capitalism, linking his positive concept of freedom to human development and highlighting alienation as a symptom of capitalist unfreedom. It explores Marx's views on democracy and socialism as solutions to this unfreedom and engages with critiques from thinkers like Max Weber and Friedrich Hayek. By clarifying Marx's ideas, it aims to inspire contemporary political discourse on freedom, democracy, and economic systems, illustrating the relevance and defensibility of his theories today.

Many of us wonder what we could possibly do to end oppression, exploitation, and injustice. This is the first book dedicated to prefigurative politics: a must-read both for students of radical politics, anarchism and social movements, as well as activists and concerned people everywhere--
