Early in the 20th century, revolutionary socialism was not only
gaining momentum but appeared destined to conquer the world. By
mid-century, the red flag flew over capitals in Eastern Europe,
Russia, China, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Central America; by the
1970s over one-third of the world's population lived under
socialist regimes. All that has changed. With the 20th century
drawing to a close, the political map of the globe looks very
different: most socialist states have collapsed, revolutionary
movements have been abandoned, and the United States stands as the
world's lone superpower. This unique volume examines these
changes--the "defeat" of Marxism--and suggests that the present
historical juncture is but a temporary setback in the march of the
working class. The authors propose that Marxism remains the most
useful approach in understanding and explaining contemporary
capitalism and its decay, as well as the only path toward the
liberation of society from class exploitation.
