Karl Marx : The Man and His Work-The Constructive Elements of Socialism by Karl Dannenberg- 1918

When Marx went to eternal rest in 1883, already more than the proverbial baker's dozen had declared their allegiance to Socialism: it was the period when hundreds and thousands followed the standard of working-class emancipation—the dawn of modern capitalism, and the embryonic stage in the development of the modern labor movement. Today millions of disinherited all over the globe gather around the banner dedicated to the proletariat by Marx: a banner truly expressive of the demands of economic and social necessity, and symbolizing the ideals and historic mission of the working-class—the destruction of the political class state and the inauguration of the Industrial Republic.

In the essay entitled “The Constructive Elements of Socialism,” the author has attempted to combine Marxism proper with the tactical and constructive phases of Socialism as they exist in the modern labor movement and are necessitated or produced by the social forces inherent in modern and full-fledged Capitalism. This essay also concludes this series, and can be considered the practical application of revolutionary Marxism to oligarchic, imperialistic Capitalism.
