Marxists against Stalinism

by Ernest Mandel - £15.00  Resistance Books (2022)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780902869578 | ISBN 10: 0902869574

As the USSR disintegrated in 1990 and 1991, the Socialist Workers Party and the Fourth International took different views of the impending privatizations. Marxists Against Stalinism brings together powerful contributions from Ernest Mandel and Chris Harman in the long-running debate on the class nature of the USSR.
 
Chris Harman argued that Soviet Union and the other “socialist” countries were bureaucratic state-capitalisms. On the other hand, Mandel argued that the Soviet Union had degenerated under the bureaucratic dictatorship of Stalin but had not reverted to a form of capitalism. Both Mandel and Harman made a significant contribution to the development of Marxism during their lifetime. Paul Le Blanc provides an introduction that looks back at the debate 30 years on.
 
Marxists Against Stalinism is the second in a series of selected writings by Ernest Mandel. The first volume is Introduction to Marxist Theory and the third will be Hope and Marxism: Selected Theoretical Essays.
