ITEM OVERVIEW
A major new work from one of today's leading libertarian Marxist thinkers and activists. How can we reformulate our understanding of revolution as the struggle against power, not for power. After a century of failed attempts by revolutionary and reformist movements to bring about radical social change, the concept of revolution itself is in crisis. Holloway opens up the theoretical debate, reposing some of the basic concepts of Marxism in a critical development of the subversive Marxist tradition—represented by Adorno, Bloch, and Lukacs, amongst others—and grounded in a rethinking of Marx's concept of "fetishisatio"—how doing is transformed into being. The struggle for radical change, Holloway argues, far from being marginalized, is becoming more and more embedded in our everyday lives. Revolution today must be understood as a question, not as an answer.
