- In the first complete Marxist history of the Roman Republic, Alan Woods’ recently launched book provides a gripping and accessible analysis of the titanic struggles that shaped the Roman world, and continue to resonate today.
Spanning more than a thousand years of development, the book delves into the fundamental processes which gave rise to the emergence of Rome as an imperial power, the crisis of the Late Republic and the rise of the Caesars. It also features additional material by the author on the eventual decline of the Roman Empire and the Marxist theory of the state.
In this session, Alan Woods will discuss the treasure trove of history and theory covered in his new book, and why all serious revolutionaries must study these lessons to better equip themselves for the battles ahead.

comrades, please make your vids louder when you upload them ; I have it on max on youtube and my laptop and I can barely hear what's been said

What a marvelous idea for a book! I've always wanted to know more about the life of common people in the empire🩷🩷
Amazing video ❤️🔥 one small correction is that Carthage was based where modern day Tunisia is not Libya
Woods mentions about 10 minutes into the video that Marx and Engels wrote early histories of Christianity and Islam. What were they called and/or where can one find them?
It is a real challenge to find writings by marx and engels but some information can be gleened from the corporate search engines. 😠 Direct to leftist book stores likely the easiest way to find.
Haymarket for 1.
He said they haven't been published, but you can find them in their collected works. Sounds interesting. ✊
actually, they invented christianity and islam.... (jk)
