Marx, Revolution, and Social Democracy argues that Marx should be understood as a social democrat. In response to claims that Marx is either totalitarian, utopian, or not a democrat, Philip J. Kain presents a four-fold argument concerning the relationship between Marx and social democracy: that Marxian socialist society is compatible with a market economy (as long as markets are controlled to eliminate alienation), that markets can be controlled democratically, that Marx accepted a democratic electoral theory of revolution, and that Marx and Engels worked actively with the Social Democratic Party of Germany.
