DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nSocialism: Scientific and 
 Utopian\n\nIn his classic, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, Engels 
 describes how the utopian vision of socialism was transformed into a 
 science by linking it to a scientific understanding of social development 
 and by identifying the working class as the agency that would build 
 socialism. This scientific socialism of Marx and Engels inspired the world 
 historic revolutions of the twentieth century. Since the overthrow of the 
 Soviet Union, however, advocates of socialism typically repudiate both 
 scientific socialism and the twentieth century attempts to build socialism. 
 The result, too frequently, is a return to utopianism. This workshop will 
 explore the need to rediscover the science of socialism. Background 
 Reading: Engels, “Socialism: Utopian and Scientific.” (available online 
 at the Marx & Engels Internet Archive. Discussion will be led by Eugene E 
 Ruyle, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology, CSU, Long Beach, and a member of
