Socialist Political Economy

The following study guide was originally published by The Marxist-Leninist news blog:

“Socialism is the declaration of the permanence of the revolution, theclass dictatorship of the proletariat as the necessary transit point to the abolition of class distinctions generally, to the abolition of all the relations of production on which they rest, to the abolition of all the social relations that correspond to these relations of production, to the revolutionizing of all the ideas that result from these social relations.” – Karl Marx, Class Struggles in France
