The Origins of Modern Leftism traces the development of modern leftist thought after the perceived failures of revolutionary Marxism, Leninism and state communism. Drawing largely on the French experience, Richard Gombin examines Marxist revisionism, critiques of the USSR, council communism, bureaucracy, everyday life, active dissent and radical alternatives to official communist tradition.
