The Crisis of Marxism - Karl Korsch

Karl Korsch

Karl Korsch

Korsch's 1931 essay discusses Marxism's crisis as an imbalance between its "theoretical expression" and "the practical needs of the proletarian class struggle" - and seeks to account for it in the historical development of Marxism from an evolving "radical critique" into an ideological "scientific system".
