The publication of this book, The Revolutionary Science of Marxism-Leninism, by J. Sykes, comes at a turning point in this country. Times have changed. There is a renewed and resurgent communist movement in the U.S. Not since the rise of the new communist movement in late 1960s and early 70s have we seen such large numbers of people arriving at the conclusion that monopoly capitalism is a failed system, and that revolution and socialism are necessities. Many new revolutionaries are making the leap and helping to build revolutionary organization.

Marxism-Leninism is the partisan science of the working class—a class that is moving from being a class in itself to a class for itself. Workers are studying Marxist books all over the world. For workers in the U.S., oppressed people and others who are sick of capitalism, The Revolutionary Science of Marxism-Leninism provides some excellent reading.

    I came to this book with curiosity, but without formal training/education in the topic. I was looking for something simple and straightforward - a gentle introduction, if you will. I found it in this book. It’s a quick and easy read, but there’s enough substance to make it worth coming back to. The value, I think, is that it gives you the big picture. From here, you will be able to dive deeper on any of the topics. I highly recommend this one!

    For the subject matter this book is extremely readable. I flew through it a lot faster than I usually would for a medium sized book like this, and the information it covers is very fundamental to Marxist theory. I'd give it 6 stars if I could, this is already one of my favorite modern books on Marxism. Anytime someone asks me what a good book to start with is, I'm going to point them at this.

It's a great read for anyone who wants to know how this capitalist system works and how it can be unmade.

    5.0 out of 5 stars For the curious beginner to the hardened Marxist looking for a refresher
    Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Whether you are curious about foundational Marxist concepts or a well versed Marxist looking for a refresher, this book is it. It takes the lessons of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and more and boils them into easy to follow concepts (perfect if you are an organizer looking to talk to your class!) without sacrificing any of the rich content of those authors.

    It also adds a modern historical context which is important for understanding the task at hand.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Modern Primer
    Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Excellent primer that is easy to for beginners and great for any who feel the need to shore up their familiarity with the basics. It touches on a couple common modern pitfalls that can be easy for beginners to fall into when starting out, which is greatly appreciated. If someone asked me where to go to cover as much as possible in as few separate works as possible for both a low price and very reasonable time investment, I would point them first to Engels’ Principles of Communism, then here.

    One of the best theory breakdown texts I've ever read. It takes complex issues of how to actualize marxist theory in a way that cuts through the complexity, making the concept extremely material and understandable. I can't recommend enough.
