From the back cover of the book:
Communism is not an ideal to be realized: it already exists, not as a society, but as an effort, a task to prepare for. It is the movement which tries to abolish the conditions of life determined by wage-labour, and it will abolish them by revolution. The discussion of communism is not academic. It is not a debate about what will be done tomorrow. It is an integral part of a whole series of immediate and distant tasks, among which discussion is only one aspect, an attempt to achieve theoretical understanding. Inversely, the tasks can be carried out more easily and efficiently if one can answer the question: where are we going?
With Vägrandets dynamik by Gilles Dauvé, riff-raff begins its book publishing, which shall work parallel with the journal.
You can order Vägrandets dynamik from the bookstore, or purchase it directly from any of our retailers.
Vägrandets dynamik is all in Swedish, this page is mostly for reference. Some text, however, have been especially written for this Swedish edition, these are marked with an asterisk (*).
