Class Strugges in Eastern Europe

A classic study of bureacracy and class struggle in the state capitalist regimes of Eastern Europe. Useful for learning the Marxist method of analyzing class struggle dynamics.

Using the theory of state capitalism, the author looks at the struggles in the Eastern bloc nations and shows long before the collapse of these regimes that the relations of production there mimicked the essential contradictions that Western regimes faced--only in a more pronounced and, as it turned out, fateful way.
