This book aims to restore Marx’s original emancipatory idea of socialism, conceived as an association of free individuals centered on working people’s self- emancipation after the demise of capitalism. Marxist scholar Paresh Chattopadhyay argues that, Marx’s (and Engels’s) ideas have been deliberately warped with misinterpretation not only by those who resent these ideas but more consequentially by those who have come to power under the banner of Marx, calling themselves communists. This book challenges those who have inaccurately revised Marx’s ideas justify their own pursuit of political power.
The examination delves into Marx's vision for a post-capitalist society, focusing on his conceptualization of socialism. Through a detailed analysis of his texts, the book uncovers the principles and structures Marx proposed for an equitable society. It highlights the transformative potential of socialism as envisioned by Marx, providing insights into his critique of capitalism and his aspirations for a more just and communal way of living.
