About This Book

The author argues that the emancipation of the working class requires overthrowing capitalist property relations and that religion functions as an ideological support for class domination. He lays out core socialist principles — class antagonism, collective ownership of production, democratic control, and political organization by workers — and contends that acceptance of socialism entails a naturalistic, anti-supernatural outlook informed by Marxian and Darwinian perspectives. The text contrasts religious doctrines with scientific materialism, critiques political parties as expressions of class interests, and calls for conscious proletarian organization to seize state power and repurpose institutions toward social equality.
