What is Bonapartism? Explaining the Marxist Concept (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In What is Bonapartism?, Caleb Maupin delivers a bold and clarifying analysis of a Marxist concept too often neglected in leftist discourse: Bonapartism-the rise of authoritarian "strongmen" amid capitalist crisis.From the streets of 1851 Paris to the corridors of power in Nazi Germany and Roosevelt's America, Maupin traces how economic collapse, and imperialist decay lead sections of the capitalist class to abandon liberal democracy in favor of state intervention and political repression. In this sweeping study, he explores how Bonapartism is not an ideology but a necessity rooted in economic crisis, adopted when profit-driven chaos demands authoritarian order.Combining historical insight with Marxist theory, Maupin examines key case studies including Napoleon III, Adolf Hitler, and Franklin D. Roosevelt-not to equate them, but to expose the similar class mechanics at play behind seemingly opposed regimes. With references to Marx, R. Palme Dutt, and contemporary developments, the book lays bare the deep structural logic of Bonapartism as both a symptom of capitalist breakdown and a threat to revolutionary transformation. Maupin takes it right up to today explaining the divisions in US society since Trump's victory in 2016, explaining how Bonapartism fits into it.Whether you're a student of history, an organizer, an economist, or simply trying to make sense of our turbulent times, What is Bonapartism? offers a powerful lens for understanding how and why capitalist societies drift into crisis-and the forces that seek to "save" them by any means necessary.
