The writings of Karl Marx explored the tensions between the laws of
socialist science and a utopian longing for socialism; between a
science of history and a prophetic hope based on moral and ethical
ideals. His writings examined history and argued for the necessity
of communism to achieve the moral ideal of utopia. Although Marx
was the last great utopian, his work has been adapted in Russia and
China to rationalize and justify totalitarian regimes, but it has
also inspired Western utopian writers like Walter Benjamin, Herbert
Marcuse, and Ernst Bloch. What's Left? Marxism, Utopianism and the
Revolt against History, explores what remains of the Marxist and
Utopian Left after the death of totalitarian utopianism and
authoritarian state socialism and how Marxism still provides a
powerful critique of present day globalization.
