About This Book
A Marxist critique surveys anarchist thought from its philosophical roots through its main proponents, contrasting utopian and scientific socialist outlooks. It traces the historical development of anarchist doctrines, analyzes major theorists and lesser followers, and critiques their tactics and moral claims. The essay interrogates anarchism's individualist tendencies and perceived petty‑bourgeois biases, examines its proposed relation to the state and to working‑class strategy, and assesses interactions between anarchist ideas and broader social forces while clarifying how materialist, class-based analysis diverges from anarchist prescriptions.
