As such, it is the most recent exmaple of Marxism as practiced by Marx himself. Woven into the text are two concepts which are of special concern in the 1970’s. First is the meaning of class consciousness, and how it is influenced by Marxists. Second is the meaning of socialism to Marx. He says in his introductory remarks: “These statements of labor’s grievances are the first act which socialist democracy must perform, in order to prepare the way for social regeneration.” (#6373) $35.00
