Marxism: A Graphic Guide - A Graphic Guide

Rupert Woodfin

Summary

Beautiful new edition of a classic comic-book introduction to Marxist thought.


Karl Marx was one of the most influential thinkers of the late 19th century, inspiring revolutions and colossal political upheavals that have radically transformed the lives of millions of people and the geopolitical map of the entire world. 

But was he a ‘Marxist’ himself? And how are his ideas still in play in today’s society?
 

Marxism: A Graphic Guide traces the story of Marx’s original philosophy, from its roots in 19th-century European thinkers like Hegel, to its influence on modern-day culture. It looks at Marxism’s Russian disciples, Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin, who forged a ruthless, dogmatic Communism, and the alternative Marxist approaches of Gramsci, the Frankfurt School of critical theory and the structuralist Marxism of Althusser in the 1960s. 



Rupert Woodfin and Oscar Zarate’s classic book, updated by Alex Locascio, explores the life, history, philosophy and politics of this most divisive of thinkers, and argues that Marxism remains a powerful set of ideas even today.

Goodbye Anxiety Hello Happiness...

Gavin Moore

Almost one factor in our lives causes us pain or overwhelming emotions. One such factor
can be hard to determine and can be seen as inconceivable, among many others. These
emotions may be hard to identify, harder to grasp, and could lead to various unfavorable
events in our lives. Unless they are recognized for the problems they cause, and
appropriate care is offered as soon as they are conceived.
Anxiety, also termed by the common notion of concern, is one such thing in our lives that
affects us, daily or temporarily. It is that one factor that people need to be cautious of and
should make no fault in determining the cause of. The solutions that come forth after
conceiving the cause are also to be given crucial importance.
Some common questions that many people wonder: What is anxiety? What is the cure for
anxiety? Are there any symptoms to determine it? There are a lot of questions, but there
appear to be fewer solutions. Although these solutions can be determined over time and
implemented in our daily lives, doing so requires perseverance. The constant motivation
and drive are what makes it seem real in the end, but knowing the solutions that can aid
when implemented is one vital step towards happiness.
“Goodbye Anxiety, Hello Happiness” helps determine the different causes of anxiety in its
various forms, comparing it to other well-known notions and seeking out the differences.
It also aims at posing the necessary solutions to combat anxiety using the right practical
knowledge and methods.
