This book explores the unresolved controversy regarding the status and role of violence in the Marxist theory of revolution. Adopting a chronological and historical framework, it examines the writings of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin, and Mao Zedong. The author evaluates whether a socialist revolution is inherently violent or if these foundational thinkers accommodated peaceful systemic transformations, detailing the economic and political conditions that altered their strategic perspectives.
