Available for the first time in English, this book examines and reinterprets class struggle within Marx and Engels' thought.

A historical situation always emerges with specific and unique characteristics that necessitate serious examination, free of schematic and biased analysis. Only if it breaks away from populism can Marxism develop the ability to interpret and change the world.
