Riassunto

Challenging the notion that the works of Marx and Engels were, at their base, fundamentally anti-democratic, Nimtz (political science, U. of Minnesota) chronologically follows the political careers of the two figures in support of his argument. He includes a comparison of the actions of Marx and Engels in the revolutionary year of 1848 with those of an icon of democratic thought Alexis de Tocqueville. His major contentions are that Marx and Engels were as much political activists as intellectuals and that they were leading protagonists in the struggle for universal suffrage and other democratic breakthroughs.
