The history of Trotskyist tendencies after Trotsky remains, more than 80 years after Trotsky's death, largely terra incognita or, more accurately, a bazaar for all manner of sects to sell their myths. Only once in a while does a work emerge that takes the history of Trotskyism out of the realm of mythology and provides us with the elements we need to reconstruct the actual experience of Trotskyist militants in a given time and place. In this sense, this brief work has no other purpose than to provide a general overview of international experiences linked to Trotskyism in the second half of the 20th century in order to advance in a circumstantial understanding of its history and development.

The underdeveloped areas of the world are becoming the crucial battleground between Communism and freedom. What types of people in these areas are attracted to Communism"? What is their understanding of the movement, and what do they hope to get out of it? What does it mean to them to join the Party, and why do they leave? In seeking answers to such questions, the author conducted detailed interviews with former members of the Malayan Communist Party, a pragmatic, ambitious group of Chinese Malayans. Their answers reveal important differences between Eastern and Western Communism, and suggest findings that are significant in meeting the threat of Communism not only in Malaya but in the rest of Asia. The author has used the methods of social science in interpreting his material and has concentrated on the problem of political behavior, about which less is known than of the military struggle.Originally published in 1950.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Los grandes temas de la filosofía, visitados recurrentemente por los debates marxistas, encontraron una formulación singular en Althusser a propósito de una pregunta por la temporalidad que, siendo condición de un pensamiento materialista, se ve exigida a producir un concepto del tiempo histórico, a contrapelo del Tiempo de la Historia. En ese proceso, la problematización del tiempo continuo y contemporáneo, que preña la categoría de sobredeterminación, confluye con la pluralidad temporalrequerida por la concepción de totalidad compleja, en una revitalización inédita de la dialéctica marxista. Esta cuestión, muchas veces soslayada por las lecturas clásicas, adquiere hoy una relevancia específica.La pregunta por el tiempo no es una distracción filosofante, sino una demanda irrenunciable de nuestro presente que se nos muestra tan inconmovible a la historia como blindado a toda imaginación de futuro. Hijxs de un tiempo signado por la "crisis del marxismo", encontramos en esta problematización la oportunidad de una revitalización teórica imprescindible al calor de las exigencias de la coyuntura.

Marx and Engels's Communist Manifesto has become one of the world's most influential political tracts since its original 1848 publication. Part of the Rethinking the Western Tradition series, this edition of the Manifesto features an extensive introduction by Jeffrey C. Isaac, and essays by Vladimir Tismaneanu, Steven Lukes, Saskia Sassen, and Stephen Eric Bronner, each well known for their writing on questions central to the Manifesto and the history of Marxism. These essays address the Manifesto's historical background, its impact on the development of twentieth-century Communism, its strengths and weaknesses as a form of ethical critique, and its relevance in the post-1989, post-Cold War world. This edition also includes much ancillary material, including the many Prefaces published in the lifetimes of Marx and Engels, and Engels's "Principles of Communism."
