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, which is a term used to describe the political power that the working class holds over the bourgeoisie in a socialist society. Kautsky argues that this dictatorship is necessary to transition from capitalism to socialism, and that it should be a temporary measure until a classless society can be established. He also discusses the role of the state in this transition, arguing that it should be used to further the interests of the proletariat and to suppress the bourgeoisie. The book is considered a classic Marxist text and has been influential in shaping socialist and communist thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
