Editorial Reviews

Review

A brilliant, lively and scholarly attempt to define communism's present role in addresing the need to remake our world. -- Educational Book Review, November, 2005

Avakian and Martin share thoughts on the future of Marxism from their respective viewpoints as an activist and a scholar. -- Book News, Inc., September, 2005

Martin is a radical professor of philosophy and maverick social theorist. Avakian is a visionary communist thinker and revolutionary leader. -- Insight-press.com

This conversation shows how much Marxism can be seen as a living tradition, open to new issues. -- CHOICE, February, 2006


Product Description

In Volume Two in Open Court's Creative Marxism series readers have a rare opportunity to eavesdrop on a provocative, wide-ranging conversation between two lively intellects. Marxism and the Call of the Future reproduces an actual discussion between Bill Martin, a DePaul University philosophy professor, and Bob Avakian, the controversial leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP). Though the scope and relevance of Marxism is at the heart of this spirited exchange, the two also offer up a sharp-witted critique of George W. Bush and touch on animal rights, The Simpsons, secularism and religion, Bob Dylan, and the post-9 - 11 agenda of the United States.
