Description
Citizen Marx offers a comprehensive exploration of Karl Marx's relationship to republicanism, challenging common interpretations of his thought. Bruno Leipold argues that Marx's thinking was deeply informed by republican ideas, which played a complex role in shaping his political values and critiques.
Leipold examines Marx's shifting relationship to republicanism across three broad periods, tracing the evolution of his ideas from a commitment to democratic republicanism to a republican conception of freedom and ultimately to a vision of popular control in representation and public administration.
This book provides a nuanced understanding of Marx's social and political thought, positioning his republican communism as a distinct and necessary alternative to both antipolitical socialism and anticommunist republicanism.
