Abstract:
In this rethinking of Marxism and its blind spots, Dick Howard uses a critical rereading of Marx as a theorist of democracy to offer his audience an alternative way to think about this political ideal. He argues that it is democracy, rather than Marxism, that is radical and revolutionary.
