This anthology chronicles the intellectual evolution of Marxist-Leninist ideology, drawing on seminal texts that dissect the contradictions of capitalism, the mechanics of class struggle, and the historical inevitability — as argued by its authors — of a communist society. The work instructs readers in the core tenets of dialectical and historical materialism, illustrating how economic forces shape political and social realities, while presenting the theoretical scaffolding upon which Soviet political doctrine was built.\n\nPublished by Progress Publishers in Moscow, this volume stands as a landmark product of Soviet-era political literature, curated to synthesize the most significant ideological pronouncements of the Marxist-Leninist canon into a single, accessible resource. The prose ranges from the fiery polemical urgency of Marx and Engels to Lenin's incisive strategic analysis, each voice distinct yet united by a shared revolutionary vision. Scholars of political philosophy, historians of the Cold War era, and students of revolutionary thought will find this collection an indispensable primary source — one that continues to provoke debate about the nature of power, labour, and the possibility of a classless world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572638060763,"sku":"2026100010883-SECONDHAND","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/867d90a6-3c16-41a5-be98-26df8ede49c8.png?v=1791167065","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010883-secondhand-on-scientific-communism","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
