Socialism: Utopian & Scientific | Classics of Marxism #2

In the second episode of our series on the Classics: Daniel, Nye, Georgina & Peter discuss the ideas of Engels' Socialism: Utopian & Scientific.

Covering the historical development of scientific socialism and its precursors, it is however far from a text of mere historical value to us. The method of Marxist analysis applied here by Engels to Marxism itself is one of the fundamental skills every communist must possess.

This podcast series is in no way a replacement for studying theory for yourself.
