Historical Materialism - Marxists

Historical Materialism Understanding and Changing the World A scientific Marxist-Leninist explanation of mankind s development from primitive society to socialism and today s world (First published August 1995) Foreword With the pamphlet Historical Materialism : Understanding and changing the world , the Workers Party of New Zealand begins carrying out an important task. This is the presentation for New Zealand workers and progressives of the main features of the theory and practice of socialism (covered in our heading under the title of Pro-Mao, Marxism-Leninism) in a series of easy-to-read pamphlets in a simpler form than is usually available, yet without any oversimplification. Most such courses tend to be above the heads of ordinary workers. With this series we hope to overcome this problem although it has meant some extra length in exposition. The present pamphlet, the first in the series, shows how and why the theory of Scientific socialism as developed by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels became the guiding star of the international working class up to Engels death in 1895.
