For some historians and biographers, Maximilien Robespierre (1758-94) was a great revolutionary martyr who succeeded in leading the French Republic to safety in the face of overwhelming military odds.

Taking ten of the most common objections to Marxism - that it leads to political tyranny, that it reduces everything to the economic, that it is a form of historical determinism, and so on - this title demonstrates in various cases what a woeful travesty of Marx's own thought these assumptions are.

Traditions of Dissent in East London with John Marriott at Pages of Hackney
Wednesday, 25 January 2012
