Description

This book argues that doing away with wage-labour, class, the State and private property is necessary, possible and can only be achieved by a historical break, one that would certainly differ from October 1917...yet it would not be a peaceful, gradual, piecemeal evolution either. Like their historical predecessors - Marx, Rosa Luxemburg, Anton Pannekoek, Amadeo Bordiga, Durruti and Debord - the authors maintain a belief in revolution. This third English edition is updated to take into account the contemporary political situation; half is new material.

Reviews

"Gilles Dauv is well-known in certain circles for his radical ideas about the functioning of modern capitalist society. The author has had a significant influence on both libertarian communists and anarchists."
--Is rank rankas press (Lithuania)

Author Bio

Gilles Dauv has worked as a translator and teacher. He is the author of essays and books on the Russian, German, and Spanish revolutions; and his texts What Is Situationism and Fascism/Anti-Fascism (written as Jean Barrot) have led a legendary existence in the samizdat pamphlet underground. Franois Martin was a member of the local section of the Trotskyist Fourth International. He was involved in the worker radical minority in the 1968 general strike and later active in communist circles.
