Marx's Associated Mode of Production

"This book aims to restore Marx's original emanicipatory idea of socialism, conceived as an association of free individuals centered on working people's self-emanicipation after the demise of capitalism. Marxist scholar Paresh Chattopadhyay argues that, Marx's (and Engels') ideas have been deliberately warped with misinterpretation not only by those who resent these ideas but more consequentially by those who have come to power under the banner of Marx, calling themselves communists."--Page [4] of cover.
