The Communist Theory of Marx

November 2, 2012March 30, 2022

What is important about Marx’s work–including, crucially, “Capital”–is that it places living human activity at the center of the concept of communism. Communism is the necessary and ongoing struggle of humanity to achieve freedom—to liberate itself from its own alienated existence.
