The question of party organisation has been a central concern of Marxists for more than a century. Marxism and the Party dispels the myths about 'democratic centralism' and demonstrates that the kind of socialist party that Lenin built had nothing in common with the Stalinist despotism that replaced it. John Molyneux examines the contributions made by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, Vladimir Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, Leon Trotsky and Antonio Gramsci. He takes as his central theme the concern of these revolutionaries with the party's relationship with workers.
