Following Marx’s own itinerary from Paris to London, from
politics to the critique of political economy, The Marx of
Communism delves into a creatively unfolding international debate
on the democracy-communism relation, while supporting a 21st
century communism as a social alternative to capitalism. Taking
into consideration Marx’s analysis of communism both as a
movement and a social formation, this study focuses on the
dialectics of transition from capitalism to communism. Dealing with
communism as the outcome of a long-term cultural and political
process, the author defends Marxian communism as the open-ended
constitution of a self-governed demos, whose citizens create their
own way of life on the ground of a stateless and classless society.
From this point of view, the end of the state does not mean the
end, but the revival of politics in terms of a communist bios.
Reshaping their collective and personal values and setting limits
to the production/technology dynamics of their economy, this book
argues, the citizens of a communist polis form a promising
antithesis to the private individuals of a capitalist society.
