Considerations On Western Marxism by Perry Anderson
A concise intellectual history and critique arguing that Marxist thought in Western Europe diverged from classical, revolutionary Marxism in response to the social and political conditions of capitalist democracies: theorists shifted their focus toward philosophy, culture and theory (as seen in the work of Lukács, Gramsci, the Frankfurt School, Sartre and Althusser), retreated from working‑class political practice after the experience of Stalinism, and thus produced a fragmented, often academicized discourse that weakened Marxism’s capacity for coherent, grounded political strategy.
