R. N. Carew Hunt chronicles the development of Communist doctrine from its philosophical foundations in Hegel and Marx through to its institutionalisation under Soviet rule. The work systematically details the core tenets of Marxism-Leninism — including dialectical materialism, class struggle, and the role of the Party — while critically assessing the gap between revolutionary theory and totalitarian practice. Written with scholarly precision yet accessible prose, it remains one of the most respected introductions to Communist ideology produced in the twentieth century, widely used in academic and policy circles throughout the Cold War era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893811491035,"sku":"2026200009194-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/19920fb4-1400-41cd-bd12-a055294c5326.png?v=1782040576","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009194-secondhand-the-theory-and-practice-of-communism","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
