Franz Mehring Books

Initially a liberal journalist, this author evolved into a significant communist theorist after deeply engaging with the writings of Karl Marx. Moving from fervent anti-communism to a staunch advocate for the cause, his intellectual journey placed him among the forefront of revolutionary thought. He became closely associated with Rosa Luxemburg and, despite his advanced age during the First World War, was a prominent voice in the opposition to the conflict. As a founding member of the German Communist Party, his life concluded tragically shortly after the loss of his comrades.
