As Losurdo argues, class struggle is often misunderstood as exclusively the struggle of the poor against the rich, of the humble against the powerful. It is an interpretation that is dear to populism, one that supposes a binary logic that closes its eyes to complexity and inclines towards the celebration of poverty as a place of moral excellence. This book, however, shows the theory of class struggle is a general theory of social conflict. Each time, the most adverse social conflicts are intertwined in different ways. A historical situation always emerges with specific and unique characteristics that necessitate serious examination, free of schematic and biased analysis. Only if it breaks away from populism can Marxism develop the ability to interpret and change the world. 410 0$aMarx, Engels, and Marxisms,$x2524-7131 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aTerrorism 606 $aPolitical violence 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aPolitical Theory 606 $aPolitical Philosophy 606 $aTerrorism and Political Violence 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aInternational Political Economy' 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aTerrorism. 615 0$aPolitical violence. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 14$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aTerrorism and Political Violence. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy'. 676 $a320.01 700 $aLosurdo$b Domenico$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0125055 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255314103321 996 $aClass Struggle$92518048 997 $aUNINA
