This first modern study provides an original and balanced
perspective of a theorist whom Lenin referred to as both 'master of
Marxism' and 'renegade'. Examining Kautsky's political thought over
a period stretching from the Paris Commune to the Second World War,
the author argues for the consistency with which Kautsky developed
his positions on socialism, democracy, political parties and the
role of the proletariat. While Salvadori's analysis is grounded in
the debates within the Communist International and the German
labour movement, Kautsky emerges as a distinctly modern thinker who
produced a Marxist theory of the state, and originated critique of
the USSR as a 'state capitalist' system. At this level, it provides
a serious and measured exposition of the terms on which arguments
for socialist strategy currently move.
