Deconstructing Karl Marx & Communism examines both the communist promise and the man who made that promise.

First, using numerous eyewitness accounts, an attempt is made to reconstruct the multifacetous Marx: student, poet, husband, father, philosopher, leader, economist, beggar, idol, and foe.

Next, the book holds the communist promise up to the light and examines its apparent failure to deliver. Not one communist revolution produced a classless society, instead all failed or ended as dictatorships. Why is this? More importantly: Can this deviation be avoided? A functional analysis of Marx’ stern imperatives and scant directions, reveals that the seed of a disappointing outcome lies encased within his doctrine.

Viewed in isolation, the Marxian philosophy possesses a certain, albeit limited, internal consistency. However, as even history has shown, the theory exists entirely at odds with reality. Even the very idea that a proletarian revolution will lead to communism is nothing short of a phantasy. For why would a proletarian revolution, once it came to power, decide to implement communism’s basic requirements: communal government, the abolition of the division of labour, and the abolition of private property? Really, what would be the workers’ motivation to implement these abstract theoretical constructs?
