What is socialism--and which version of it has truly changed the world? In Three Socialist Movements , Caleb Maupin offers a provocative re-examination of socialism's history, dissecting its evolution into three distinct ideological streams: the internationalist socialism of Marx and Engels, the reactionary nationalism of Dühring and the fascist right, and the constructive, development-oriented socialism born in the revolutions of Russia, China, and the Global South. Maupin challenges Western assumptions and exposes how both liberal reformism and fascist repression have ultimately served the western imperialist order and left capitalism intact. In contrast, he makes the case for a third path-- continental socialism --as the real legacy of successful anti-capitalist struggle, responsible for lifting nations out of poverty and resisting global finance capital. Clear, bold, and unapologetically polemical, Three Socialist Movements is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the ideological battles shaping the 21st-century world. Maupin draws from Marx, Engels, Duhring, Sorel, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Alexander Dugin, Lyndon Larouche, and many other thinkers to put forward a ground-breaking new framework of analysis.
