Democratic Marxism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Democratic Marxism is a term employed to emphasise the compatibility between democracy and Marxism.[citation needed] According to Kenneth Megill in his book The New Democratic Theory:[1]

Democratic Marxism is authentic Marxism—the Marxism which emphasizes the necessity for revolutionary action. Loyalty to the movement, not loyalty to any particular doctrine, is characteristic of the orthodox democratic Marxist.[2]

In his book Chile's Democratic Road to Socialism, Michael H. Fleet also uses the term democratic Marxism to describe the nature of the Chilean government at the time of Salvador Allende's :

During at least two of the three years of democratic Marxist government, however, Chile faced severe economic and political crises.[3][when defined as?]
