The Dictatorship Of The Proletariat (1919)

The Dictatorship Of The Proletariat is a political treatise written by Karl Kautsky in 1919. The book explores the concept of the dictatorship of the proletariat, a term coined by Karl Marx, and its potential as a means of achieving socialism. Kautsky argues that the dictatorship of the proletariat is a necessary step in the transition from capitalism to socialism, but also warns of the dangers of authoritarianism and the need for democratic control. The book is divided into several chapters, each examining different aspects of the dictatorship of the proletariat, including its historical roots, its theoretical foundations, and its practical implementation. Kautsky draws on a wide range of sources, including Marx and Engels, as well as contemporary political events and debates. The Dictatorship Of The Proletariat is a seminal work in Marxist theory and remains a key text for scholars and activists interested in the history and future of socialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
