Marx's Rebellion Against Lenin, by negating the Leninist-Stalinist theory of dialectical materialism and tracing Marx's political philosophy to the Classical Humanism of Aristotle, overthrows the stultifying entrapment of Stalinist Bolshevism and contributes to the revitalization of Marx's method.
This collection presents exciting new research on the history of anarchist movements and their relation to organised labour, notably revolutionary syndicalism.

Emphasis is also placed on individual activist itineraries—whether of r...
