It discusses the evolution of Marx's own thought during his lifetime and the crisis of the orthodox theory of pre-1914 social democracy, which led to the formation of the Third International. Korsch argues that ideology is a crucial political instrument of bourgeois society and that marxsists must struggle against it, just as they fight its economic and political structures.
