Lukes Publishes Article on Marxism
Igor Lukes, Professor of International Relations and History at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, published a recent article seeking to explain the continued appeal Marxism has in some circles, and suggesting there’s a parallel between Marxism and The Pill of Murti-Bing that Czesław Miłosz writes about in The Captive Minds.
The article, entitled “Marxism: Drugs, Illusion and Violence,” was published in Young Front Today (Mladá Fronta DNES) on August 26, 2017.
