Evolutionary Socialism: A Criticism And Affirmation (1911) - Paperback

by Eduard Bernstein (Author), Edith C. Harvey (Author)

Evolutionary Socialism: A Criticism and Affirmation is a book written by Eduard Bernstein in 1911. The book is a critique of traditional Marxist thought and a defense of what Bernstein called ""evolutionary socialism."" Bernstein argued that the traditional Marxist view of revolution was outdated and that socialism could be achieved through gradual reforms within the existing political system. He also criticized the idea of a ""dictatorship of the proletariat"" and argued that democracy was essential to the success of socialism. The book was controversial at the time and sparked a debate within the socialist movement. Today, it is considered a classic work of socialist theory and an important contribution to the evolution of socialist thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
