	Karl Korsch's challenge to Marxism
		Karl Korsch was faced with dilemmas which have troubled the left ever since, and he attempted as honestly as he could to map out a path for the rebirth of libertarian socialism.
		Korsch was critical of other figures on the left such as Leon Trotsky, who argued that the Soviet Union could be rescue by a process of reform without revolution.
		Karl Korsch's most important practical contribution was to argue that Marxism (or by implication any movement of working-class revolt) contained only a negative character.

	Karl Korsch
		Karl Korsch (1886-1961), who is today being rediscovered by the "new left," was one of the major theoreticians of left communism.
		His opposition to this orthodoxy turned Korsch's attention to the Fabian's concern with the preparation of individuals for socialism through education and to the syndicalists' stress on the conscious activity of the workers as the basis both of the revolution and the management of a socialist economy.
		According to Mattick, Korsch always had a critical attitude to the emerging Russian state but in the early period of the Russian revolution, when all the forces of reaction were arrayed against it, he believed that a revolutionary had to support it.

	Karl Korsch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Karl Korsch (August 15, 1886 - October 21, 1961) was a German Marxist theorist.
		Korsch was born in Todstedt, near Hamburg, to the family of a middle-ranking bank official.
		Korsch was especially concerned that Marxist theory was losing its precision and validity - in the words of the day, becoming "vulgarized" - within the upper echelons of the various socialist organizations.

	Karl Korsch's Marxism
		Karl Korsch, by contrast, was explicitly committed to revolutionary change, and the academic Marxists have found it harder to claim his mantle.
		Korsch's continuing enthusiasm for workers' councils was still in many ways a proletarian constitution-mongering (indeed he called for a 'proletarian constitution of labour'), in which workers' councils could act as a corrective, and not as an antidote, to surviving capitalist management.
		Korsch, himself, was seen by members of the Communist Party as a military figure, a former officer, the man responsible for preparing at least the defence of the Thuringian government, and potentially the insurrection which was expected to break out in October 1923, on the sixth anniversary of the Russian Revolution.

	Karl Korsch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Karl Korsch was a member of a revolutionary generation that rejected the deterministic Marxism of the Second International.
		Karl Korsch was born in 1886 in Tostedt, near Hamburg in Germany.
		In criticising the Marxism of the Second International, Korsch reminded his readers of Lenin’s call to arms: "We must organise a systematic study of the Hegelian dialectic from a materialist standpoint." For Karl Korsch, one of the key components of dialectics was its emphasis on totality.

	THE MARXISM OF KARL KORSCH - Paul Mattick (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Korsch was aware, of course, that Marxism refers to itself as scientific socialism and not as a philosophy, and that both Marx and Engels equated bourgeois philosophy with philosophy as such.
		Korsch's concern with the relation between Marxism and philosophy did not imply a particular interest in philosophy on his own part, nor an attempt to revive the criticism of philosophy-which had been the young Marx's starting-point in his criticism of capitalism; it derived from his desire to restore Marxism's revolutionary content.
		Korsch also realised that the so-called under-developed countries would, in one form or another, employ Marxian ideology for immediate ends that did not correspond with the concept of socialism as the emancipation of the industrial proletariat and the abolition of social class relations.

	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Karl Marx
		Karl Heinrich Marx (May 5, 1818, Trier, Germany â“ March 14, 1883, London, England) was an immensely influential philosopher from Germany, a political economist, and a socialist revolutionary.
		While Marx's ideas have declined in popularity, particularly since the collapse of the Soviet regime, they are still very influential today, both in academic circles, some worker movements, and in political practice, and Marxism continues to be the official ideology of some Communist states and political movements.
		According to the Arts and Humanities Citation Index, between 1980 and 1992 Karl Marx was the most cited authority overall, followed by a marxist: Vladimir Lenin.

	The Present State of the Problem of Marxism and Philosophy: An Anti-critique -Karl Korsch

		On the other side Karl Kautsky and his Neue Zeit were in complete agreement with orthodox Russian Marxism on all theoretical questions.
		Indeed, as far as the philosophical foundations of its theory were concerned, German orthodox Marxism was more influenced by Russian Marxism than itself influential on it, since the Germans were to a considerable extent under the sway of the Russian theoretician Plekhanov.

	The Legend of Marx, or 'Engels the founder' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It was the merit of Karl Korsch, when twenty years ago at the threshold of a radical revision of his intellectual positions, to have attempted a critique of Marxism which amounted to a declaration of war.
		Korsch could as well, and more accurately, have spoken of “absurd mythologies” in place of “reactionary utopias”.
		Fetscher explores their different ways of envisaging the “negation of philosophy” and the relation of human history to nature in the conception – which was unacceptable for Marx – of an objective dialectics of nature, and of thought as a reflection of reality.

		It no longer makes sense to ask to what extent the teaching of Marx and Engels is, today, theoretically acceptable and practically applicable.

		Until very recently, neither bourgeois nor Marxist thinkers had much appreciation of the fact that the relation between Marxism and philosophy might pose a very important theoretical and practical problem.

		It began emerging most articulately after the Bolshevik revolution had failed to be accompanied by a successful revolution in central, industrially advanced Europe, and as part of a critique of the parliamentarism, the revisionism, and the deterministic evolutionism of the Second International.
		The thesis of the "Two Marxisms," was fully articulated by Karl Korsch in 1923:
		Clearly, then, Korsch saw one of the Two Marxisms—Scientific Marxism—as a scientizing, positivistic impulse hostile to philosophy in general and to Hegel in particular.

	The Two Marxisms, Ch 8 - " 'Economic Determinisms' in Marxism," by Alvin W. Gouldner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Had I been writing before 1914, the central disagreement with my analysis would have come from social democrats of the Second International, who conceived Marxism as a scientific socialism and who would have denied vigorously that Marxism was critique.
		This was essentially the tack that Karl Kautsky took in his review of Karl Korsch's Marxism and Philosophy.
		Indeed, this was also the position that the Communist International—seeking to protect its emerging canonization of "Marxism-Leninism"—also took toward Korsch and toward Georg Lukacs's History and Class Consciousness.

		In other words, Dewey refused to see society as a whole, as a historically-produced totality, as Marxists such as Lukàcs and Hook stressed that it must be seen.
		Hook's best period, the period of Towards the Understanding of Karl Marx, seems in this light to be the time when Dewey's influence on him was at its weakest.
		Karl Marx, who identified with the radical republican tradition from the early 1840s on, defended democracy and freedom of expression in his early, middle and late writings.

		His stress upon dialectical analysis — in which society is treated as an historically evolving and systemically interrelated whole — has had a profound impact on political science, economics and sociology.
		While such writers as Georg Lukács, Karl Korsch and Antonio Gramsci developed the historical materialism of the Marxist paradigm, others, such as Louis Althusser and Nicos Poulantzas, have combined that paradigm with various insights from structuralism, functionalism and systems theory.

		The man who taught him the elements of Marxism in the late 1920s was Karl Korsch, an eminent Marxist theoretician who had been a Communist member of the Reichstag but had been expelled from the German Communist Party in 1926.
		In Berlin (1924-33) he worked briefly for the directors Max Reinhardt and Erwin Piscator, but mainly with his own group of associates.
