In these essays George Novack defends scientific socialism - the generalization of the histori line of march of the working class. First advanced by Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels, it is the toilers' most powerful weapon to use in the fight for a world based on cooperative labor and human solidarity.
Novack explains why the materialist foundations and dialectical methods of Marxism offer the only scientific basis for working-class political action. In doing so, he answers those in the twentieth century who - parading as the true interpreters of Marx - have provided a "philosophical" veneer for the anti-working class political course of Stalinist and social democratic misleaderships around the world.
