The Road to Power is a political manifesto written by Marxist theorist Karl Kautsky and published in 1909. The book explores the historical development of capitalism and the class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Kautsky argues that the ultimate goal of the working class should be to seize political power and establish a socialist society. He outlines the various tactics and strategies that can be used to achieve this goal, including the formation of labor unions, the use of strikes and other forms of direct action, and the establishment of a socialist political party. Kautsky also examines the role of imperialism and colonialism in the development of capitalism, arguing that the exploitation of colonized peoples is a key component of capitalist expansion. The Road to Power is considered to be one of the most influential works of Marxist theory and played a significant role in shaping socialist movements around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
