The Purity Fetish and the Crisis of Western Marxism PAPERBACK 2023 by Carlos ...

Description: In The Purity Fetish and the Crisis of Western Marxism, Carlos L. Garrido provides a comprehensive development of his concept of the purity fetish, tracing the outlook to the Eleatic school of Ancient Greek philosophy, and showing how it has appeared in 20th century Western Marxism and in contemporary U.S. socialism. In every form the purity fetish takes in Western Marxism's politics, Carlos argues that one finds not only the failure to obtain truth, but also the inability to create a revolutionary movement Endorsements: "This book will soon become a must-read for anyone who is serious about the socialist road and the goal of communism." - Roland Boer, professor at Renmin University of China, Beijing. Author of many books, including the recently published Socialism with Chinese Characteristics (2021) and Friedrich Engels and the Foundations of Socialist Governance (2021). "This book is a healthy antidote to the widespread infantile leftism that infects the American left." - Thomas Riggins, retired philosophy teacher (NYU, New School, et. al), chief editorial counselor at the Midwestern Marx Institute and author of Reading the Classical Texts of Marxism (2022) and Eurocommunism: A Critical Reading (2022). "This book—a clarion call for the collective project of building socialism—should be widely read and discussed!" - Gabriel Rockhill, Founding Director of the Critical Theory Workshop / Atelier de Théorie Critique & Professor of Philosophy at Villanova University. Author of many books, including Counter-History of the Present: Untimely Interrogations into Globalization, Technology, and Democracy (2017) and Interventions in Contemporary Thought: History, Politics, Aesthetics (2016). "In adroitly dissecting the philosophical underpinnings of what passes for Marxism in the academy... Carlos Garrido demonstrates the importance of theoretical education in dialectical materialism for the class struggle in the contemporary conjuncture." - Helmut-Harry Loewen, veteran anti-apartheid and anti-fascist campaigner in Western Canada, Associate of the Institute for the Humanities at Simon Fraser University and a retired University of Winnipeg lecturer in sociology and criminological theory. "Garrido’s accessible philosophical discussion is indispensable for understanding much of the Western left’s inability to think dialectically, to truly follow Hegel and Marx rather than just invoke them, to understand the struggle for socialism as it is, rather than as it might be in the politically juvenile imaginations of so many." - Radhika Desai, Professor at the Department of Political Studies and Director of the Geopolitical Economy Research Group at University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada. Author of many books, including Geopolitical Economy: After US Hegemony, Globalization and Empire (2013), Karl Polanyi and Twenty First Century Capitalism (2020), Revolutions (2020), Japan’s Secular Stagnation (2022), and Capitalism, Coronavirus and War: A Geopolitical Economy (2022). With Alan Freeman, she co-edits the Geopolitical Economy book series with Manchester University Press and the Future of Capitalism book series with Pluto Press.
