This book presents three of his political writings – “Social Reform or Revolution”, “Mass Strike, Political Party and Trade Unions”, “Theory and Practice” – together to the reader. “Social Reform or Revolution” is a manifesto against reformist tendencies within the Second International; This text, together with "Theory and Practice", is the most creative response to the understanding that proposes a reformist politics based on the fact that the basic Marxist theses regarding capitalism have lost their validity and to the illusion created by the apparent stability of capitalism. “Mass Strike, Political Parties and Trade Unions” is a work in which he analyzes in depth the problems of spontaneity, organization and political-social development in the revolutionary struggle. With respect, in memory of this great revolutionary who never gave up on struggle, polemics or love, on the 150th anniversary of his birth...
