Publisher's Synopsis
Das Erfurter Programm In Seinem Grunds�����tzlichen Teil (1899) is a book written by Karl Kautsky, a prominent Marxist theorist and leader of the German Social Democratic Party. The book is a detailed analysis and critique of the Erfurt Program, which was adopted by the German Social Democratic Party in 1891 and served as the party's official platform until 1914. Kautsky's book focuses on the fundamental principles of the Erfurt Program, which included the party's commitment to socialism, democracy, and the rights of workers. Kautsky argues that the program was a significant step forward for the German socialist movement, but also points out its limitations and shortcomings. Throughout the book, Kautsky provides a historical and theoretical context for the Erfurt Program, drawing on the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels to explain the principles of socialism and the role of the working class in revolutionary change. He also critiques the program's emphasis on electoral politics and parliamentary democracy, arguing that these tactics alone cannot bring about true socialist transformation. Overall, Das Erfurter Programm In Seinem Grunds�����tzlichen Teil is an important work of Marxist theory and political analysis, providing a nuanced and critical examination of one of the most significant documents in the history of the German socialist movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
