Class, Party, Revolution
A Socialist Register Reader
Haymarket Books, 9781608469192, £20.99, $24.00
Edited by Greg Albo, Leo Panitch, and Alan Zuege
An expertly selected collection of articles on class, party, and revolution from one of the world’s most important socialist journals
Since beginning publication in1964, The Socialist Register has been one of the most important sources of engaged, critical, and influential theoretical interventions on the socialist left. Released as an annual with a focus on publishing rigorous, sustained pieces that take up particular themes, it has always been committed to developing an independent, non-sectarian relationship with Marxism.
This volume—the Register’s first-ever reader—grapples with the question of whether political organization is a necessary part of the struggle by the working-class to overthrow capitalism. In pieces published over the course of publication’s entire history contributors, from Ralph Miliband to Jean-Paul Satre, examine various aspects of this theme.
