In the 19th Century, Marx and Engels laid down the theory of Scientific Socialism. In the early 20th century, Lenin updated Marxism to the age of Imperialism and led the 1917 revolution that gave birth to the first large scale Scientific Socialist state. Stalin then picked up the Marxist-Leninist tool kit and led the building of the USSR. Communist Parties around the world built socialist societies modeled after Soviet-style socialism. Unfortunately today, with the absence of the Soviet Union, there is much confusion surrounding what socialism is. In this class, we read from Nemmy Sparks’ ‘What is Socialism?’
