The Betrayal of Marx
Bender, Frederic L. (ed.)
Publisher: Harper & Row, New York, USAYear Published: 1975 Pages: 452pp Dewey: 320.5322 Resource Type: Book Cx Number: CX6183 The public has too long been fed the view that figures such as Lenin and Stalin are genuine followers of Marx, simply because they have claimed that distinction. Nothing justifies the deeds of a perverse 'Marxism' (e.g. that of Stalin); a proper understanding of Marxist humanism, and its betrayal, in contrast, enables us to raise afresh the question of means and to reevaluate the relevant historical, economic, and political facts.
