Socialism: Utopian & Scientific

"Socialism: Utopian & Scientific" is one of the founding text of Marxist Theory. This work, first published in 1880, analyzes the history and development of socialism up to late 19th century. This includes its philosophical roots, real world application, and shift from idealist thought into materialism with the emergence of scientific socialism. This seminal text is often touted as dismissing the notion of socialism being a utopian line of thinking and, instead, a scientific process based in material reality.
