What is Marxism?

An exposition of Marxism originally written by Emile Burns, member of the Communist Party of Great Brittan, in 1939.

This ""concise outline of Marxism"" was intended as ""an introduction for new students, or as a handy refresher for past students and lecturers.""

However, Emile Burns' WHAT IS MARXISM?, as an introduction for new students, or as a handy refresher for past students and lecturers, will be found an adequate guide. It is not just another booklet to be read and forgotten. It is a concise outline of Marxism that will repay repeated readings and serious study. New investigators of Marxism will find themselves stimulated to seek more knowledge of the theories of Scientific Socialism, as expounded by Marxists; and every Marxist, no matter what his degree of knowledge, will find within these pages a method of exposition most helpful to the imparting of Marxist theory, whether in the lecture hall, or study group.
