Despite a century of debate and criticism, Marxism as a mass
ideological practice has remained an elusive topic. This book
examines Marxist socialism as a mode of understanding and
self-understanding treasured and transmitted by thousands of
anonymous militants. It focuses upon the Parti Ouvrier Francais,
the 'Guesdists', an archetypal movement of Marxism's 'Golden Age'
before the First World War, the period when Marxist socialism
evolved from sect to mass movement. Thousands of French socialists
adopted Marxism due to the effectiveness of vulgar Guesdist polemic
rather than Marx's profound theoretical works, and entire
communities were converted to an austere but messianic socialism
which still affects French politics today. This book traces the
doctrine's birth through conflict with liberals, proto-fascists,
and anarchists; its 'making' of a working class, and its attempted
seduction of the middle class; and its confusion before the
alternative social visions of the Catholic devout, racist
nationalists, and feminists.
