Description
Published in 2020, this collection of essays by Louis Althusser explores the question of what needs to be done for revolution to take place. Written in response to the tumultuous events of May '68 and the subsequent tensions within the Communist Party.
The book offers a critical analysis of key Marxist concepts, including Antonio Gramsci's writings on cultural hegemony and Eurocommunism. Althusser seeks to clarify the conditions under which revolutionary change can occur, providing a concise guide for those seeking to organise the working class struggle.
