[ED: Hardcover], [PU: CAMBRIDGE UNIV PR], Despite a century of debate and criticism, Marxism as a mass ideological practice has remained an elusive topic. This book examines Marxist socialism as a mode of understanding and self-understanding treasured and transmitted by thousands of anonymous militants. It focuses upon the Parti Ouvrier Français, the 'Guesdists', an archetypal movement of Marxism's 'Golden Age' before the First World War, the period when Marxist socialism evolved from sect to mass movement. Thousands of French socialists adopted Marxism due to the effectiveness of vulgar Guesdist polemic rather than Marx's profound theoretical works, and entire communities were converted to an austere but messianic socialism which still affects French politics today. This book traces the doctrine's birth through conflict with liberals, proto-fascists, and anarchists its 'making' of a working class, and its attempted seduction of the middle class and its confusion before the alternative social visions of the Catholic devout, racist nationalists, and feminists. Table of contents: Preface 1. Ideology, history, and the study of Marxism 2. The Parti Ouvrier Francais: its history and historiography 3. The axioms of class war Part I. The Making of the French Working Class: 4. The capitalist mode of production and proletarianisation 5. Problems of proletarianisation 6. Class and industrial organisation 7. The bourgeois state versus the proletarian party 8. Reform and revolution Part II. The Unmaking of the French Working Class: 9. Religion and the class war 10. Class versus blood and soil 11. Gender, generations, and class Part III. History and Class Conflict: 12. French Marxism and the bourgeoisie 13. The Guesdists and the petite bourgeoisie 14. Marxism and rural society 15. Marxists encounter the 'new middle class' 16. The proletarian revolution and the socialist utopia Conclusion Notes Bibliography. Focusing on the Parti Ouvrier Français (the 'Guesdists'), the author argues that vulgar polemic rather than profound works of theory converted entire communities to an austere but messianic socialism which still influences French politics today. This book examines the socialists who introduced Marxism to France in the decades before the First World War. 535 pages Versandfertig in 2-4 Wochen, DE, [SC: 0.00], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot, offene Rechnung (Vorkasse vorbehalten)<
