Revolutionary Philosophy of Marxism, The

Writings on Dialectical Materialism by Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, Plekhanov, Luxemburg and Alan Woods. While Marx is perhaps best known for his writings on economics and history, anyone who wishes to have a fully rounded understanding of his method must strive to master dialectical materialism, which itself resulted from an assiduous study and critique of Hegel. Dialectical materialism is the logic of motion, development, and change. By embracing contradiction, dialectics allows Marxists to approach processes as they really are. In this way we can understand and explain the essential class interests at stake in our fight against capitalist exploitation and oppression. Marxist theory represents the synthesized experience, historical memory, and guide to action of the working class.
