Draper, Hal Publisher: Monthly Review Press, New York, USA Year Published: 1986 Pages: 462pp ISBN: 0-85345-674-7(Vol.3) Library of Congress Number: JC233.M299D7 Dewey: 301.5'92 Resource Type: Book
Hal Draper examines how Marx and Marxism dealt with the issue of dictatorship in relation to the revolutionary use of force and repression, particularly as this debate has centered on the use of the term "dictatorship of the proletariat." Draper strips away the layers of misinterpretation and misinformation that have accumulated over the years to show what Marx and Engels themselves meant by the term.
