I am joined by Marxist historian Ian Szabo to discuss the revival of Karl Kautsky's revolutionary thought among contemporary Marxists. We discuss a recent article on Kautsky's theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and we address the predominant misreadings and misinterpretations that exist about Kautsky, and how his thought speaks to our present.

Read Ian Szabo's article "The Adolescence of a Concept: Dictatorship of the Proletariat in Karl Kautsky’s Revolutionary Writings (https://bit.ly/4hHoOaW).
