Class Struggle: A Political and Philosophical History by Domenico Losurdo
5.0
Yet another great book by the late Domenico Losurdo.
Here he tackles Class Struggle and examines the topic from quite a few different angles. This time it took me almost two months to read the book, so I won't even try to make this a concise review. Suffice it to say, this book is full with insight and thoughtful deconstructions of other thinkers' views on the nature or relevancy of class struggle (e.g. Arendt, Weil, Zizek, and Harvey among others). It discusses the revolutionary periods in the late 18th and 19th centuries, the NEP, AES (China in particular), the forms that class struggle takes, Marxism vs Populism and a few more subjects as well. As always with Losurdo, I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to anybody with an inkling of interest in revolutionary theory and history.
