The idea that socialism could be established in a single country
was adopted as an official doctrine by the Soviet Union in 1925,
Stalin and Bukharin being the main formulators of the policy.
Before this there had been much debate as to whether the only way
to secure socialism would be as a result of socialist revolution on
a much broader scale, across all Europe or wider still. This book
traces the development of ideas about communist utopia from Plato
onwards, paying particular attention to debates about universalist
ideology versus the possibility for "socialism in one country". The
book argues that although the prevailing view is that "socialism in
one country" was a sharp break from a long tradition that tended to
view socialism as only possible if universal, in fact the
territorially confined socialist project had long roots, including
in the writings of Marx and Engels.
