Are we now in a period of transition from capitalism to socialism? H. Ticktin’s concept of decline and transition
Submitted by Internationalis... on Sep 25 2018 12:24
Capitalism must be overthrown before a transitional period can be initiated. There must be a total rupture with value production.

The Marxist ideology in Russia - Karl Korsch
In this text from 1938, Karl Korsch puts forward the notion that Marxism in Russia effectively served as the ideological cloak of capitalist development, but that this was in fact anticipated by theoretical concessions, made by Marx and Engels in the 1870s/1880s, to the ideas held by the Russian populists, the Narodniki.
