Book Review by Jeremy : Requiem to Marx - Maltsev.Yurin Its extremely hard to find a book that tackles Marxism as a system. Most anti-Marxist books merely look at the horrors comitted by Marxist regimes while often trying to justify U.S. imperialism, all while never actually looking at Marxism itself as a system. This book rectifies that. The firs chapter deal with the some of the economic problems of Marxism such as the Labor Theory of Value, the role of profit, the failure of Marx to account for time-preference, social calculation, etc. It inquires critically and takes them all to task. The second chapter deals with the role of class conscioussness Hans Herman-Hoppe. The third one by Gary North is a real treat, a biography on Karl Marx, most notably his bourgeoise background. The next chapther is about the difference between Capitalism and Mercantilism, the failure of Marx to distinguish between the two as well as dissecting his ideas of historical materialism and inevetibility. The last two chapters in my opinion are the best. Ralph Raicos The Classical Liberal Roots of the Doctrine of Classes is a great history lesson to memorize lest you come across some Marxist with their own perverted brand of class and then you can educate them on where Marx really got the idea. Finally Murray N. Rothbards Marx: Communist as Religious Eschatologist is actually quite chilling. It details the Christian Protestant origins of communism and how in the name of unity, love, etc. and all those other lies megalomaniacs use in communism blasphemed the name of Christ in order to justify their madness and murder and how this eventually carried over to the power-lust of Hegel and the atheism of Marx. Ultimately though, this book is necessary to read and re-read and absorb so as to learn just how many fallacies there are in Marxism, which ones they are, and the how Marxism was evil from the get-go because of its roots in bloody millenial sects of centuries before.
