Very good book by a flexible but committed author examining the possibilities of humanist Marxism associated with the early Castro state and Yugoslavia as well as the New Left and revived Trotskyist movements, Maoism as it actually existed in China, and stating what exactly Soviet ideology at the time (the '70s) consisted of. Leonhard was associated with the Yugoslav communist movement before emigrating to the U.S.
Castro once famously said, at the end of the Revolution, that what they represented was "Revolutionary Humanism".
