More about the book

Exploring the interplay between socialist science and utopian ideals, this work delves into Karl Marx's writings on history and communism as pathways to a moral utopia. It discusses how his ideas have been co-opted by totalitarian regimes in Russia and China, while also inspiring Western thinkers like Walter Benjamin and Herbert Marcuse. The book examines the remnants of Marxism and Utopianism in the wake of totalitarianism, arguing that Marxism continues to offer a vital critique of contemporary globalization.
