Features: Why was a transitional society established after the October Revolution instead of a new social form that fully surpassed capitalism? Why has organized workers' movement inevitably become bureaucratized? Why does Marxism not equal utopia or the "road to servitude"? After the great changes in the Soviet East, does socialism still have a future? Through an analysis of the bureaucratization of working-class mass organizations, worker states, bourgeois states, and private large companies, the author Mandel reveals the economic and institutional roots of the emergence of the working-class bureaucratic group, providing a critical summary of the history of socialism in the 20th century.
