Available for the first time in English, this book examines and
reinterprets class struggle within Marx and Engels' thought. As
Losurdo argues, class struggle is often misunderstood as
exclusively the struggle of the poor against the rich, of the
humble against the powerful. It is an interpretation that is dear
to populism, one that supposes a binary logic that closes its eyes
to complexity and inclines towards the celebration of poverty as a
place of moral excellence. This book, however, shows the theory of
class struggle is a general theory of social conflict. Each time,
the most adverse social conflicts are intertwined in different
ways. A historical situation always emerges with specific and
unique characteristics that necessitate serious examination, free
of schematic and biased analysis. Only if it breaks away from
populism can Marxism develop the ability to interpret and change
the world.
