Marxism at Work: Ideology, Class and French Socialism during the Third Republic

Description: Marxism at Work by Robert Stuart Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Focusing on the Parti Ouvrier Francais (the Guesdists), the author argues that vulgar polemic rather than profound works of theory converted entire communities to an austere but messianic socialism which still influences French politics today. Publisher Description Despite a century of debate and criticism, Marxism as a mass ideological practice has remained an elusive topic. This book examines Marxist socialism as a mode of understanding and self-understanding treasured and transmitted by thousands of anonymous militants. It focuses on the Parti Ouvrier Francais, the "Guesdists," an archetypal movement of Marxisms "Golden Age" before World War I, the period when Marxist socialism evolved from sect to mass movement. Thousands of French socialists adopted Marxism due to the effectiveness of vulgar Guesdist polemic rather than Marxs profound theoretical works, and entire communities were converted to an austere but messianic socialism that still affects French politics today. This book traces the doctrines birth through conflict with liberals, proto-fascists, and anarchists; its "making" of a working class, and its attempted seduction of the middle class; and its confusion before the alternative social visions of the Catholic devout, racist nationalists, and feminists.
