Excerpt from The Bolshevik Theory It is not possible to give here an adequate summary Of Marxism. Marxism is not merely a theory Of Socialist tactics. It is a materialist philosophy. It is also an elaborate, if rather antiquated, system Of economics. It is an interpretation Of history. It is a political philosophy. It does not touch natural science or mathematics; but there is hardly another subject, from Totemism to the origin Of Greek tragedy, on which the pure Marxist does not have a distinctive and, at times, rigid and unintelligent point Of View. He lives entirely in a different world from that of his Revisionist Opponent. The motives Of his adversaries seem different, the results and reasons of their actions diverse, the history of his country and the world are unrecognisable. It is not necessary to transcribe the details Of the Marxian scheme here. Vital conflict with Revision ism occurs really at only one point - the theory of the class war.
