Marcuse, Herbert

Soviet Marxism: a critical analysis - England Penguin Books 1971 - 221 p.

In this book, however, he sets out to evaluate some main trends of Soviet Marxism - which he by no means identifies with socialism - in terms of an immanent critique'. Starting from the theoretical premises of Soviet Marxism, he :develops their ideological and sociological consequences, and then re-examines the premises in the light of these consequences. The critique thus employs the conceptual instruments of its object namely Marxism in order to clarify the actual function of Marxism in Soviet society and its historical direction.
