DALL’IDEA AL TOTALITARISMO. CONTRIBUTO ALL’INTERPRETAZIONE DI MARX E DELLA SUA EREDITÀ

The purpose of this article is to show the weakness of the ideological position according to which “one can define oneself as communist today, despite the historic crimes of communist regimes”. In my opinion, the legitimacy of this position would depend upon being able to demonstrate that there could be an “authentic Marxism” that would have nothing to do with its erroneous historical manifestations. And it is precisely this topic on which I will focus my critical analysis.
