Показать описание
In the first complete Marxist history of the Roman Republic, Alan Woods’ recently launched book provides a gripping and accessible analysis of the titanic struggles that shaped the Roman world, and continue to resonate today.

Spanning more than a thousand years of development, the book delves into the fundamental processes which gave rise to the emergence of Rome as an imperial power, the crisis of the Late Republic and the rise of the Caesars. It also features additional material by the author on the eventual decline of the Roman Empire and the Marxist theory of the state.

In this session, Alan Woods will discuss the treasure trove of history and theory covered in his new book, and why all serious revolutionaries must study these lessons to better equip themselves for the battles ahead.

Recommended reading: Spartacus: a real representative of the proletariat of ancient times

Further reading: Civilisation, Barbarism and the Marxist view of History

Amazing video ❤️‍🔥 one small correction is that Carthage was based where modern day Tunisia is not Libya

Woods mentions about 10 minutes into the video that Marx and Engels wrote early histories of Christianity and Islam. What were they called and/or where can one find them?
