Karl Marx’s Theory of Revolution III
In this third volume of his definitive study of Karl Marx's political thought, Hal Draper examines how Marx, and Marxism, have dealt with the issue of dictatorship in relation to the revolutionary use of force and repression, particularly as this debate has centered on the use of the term "dictatorship of the proletariat." Writing with his usual wit and perception, Draper strips away the layers of misinterpretation and misinformation that have accumulated over the years to show what Marx and Engels themselves really meant by the term.
Socialism from Below
In exploring the question: "What do we mean by socialism?," Hal Draper argues genuine liberation can be won only through self-emancipation.

Karl Marx’s Theory of Revolution Vol IV
Much of Karl Marx's most important work came out of his critique of other thinkers, including many socialists who differed significantly in their conceptions of socialism. The fourth volume in Hal Draper's series looks at these critiques to illuminate what Marx's socialism was, as well as what it was not. Some of these debates are well-known elements in Marx's work, such as his writings on the anarchists Proudhon and Bakunin. Others are less familiar, such as the writings on "Bismarckian socialism" and "Boulangism," but promise to become better known and understood with Draper's exposition. He also discusses the more general ideological tendencies of "utopian" and "sentimental" socialisms, which took various forms and were ingredients in many different socialist movements.
What is to be Done?
A political pamphlet written in 1901 and published in 1902, in which the author argues that the working class will not spontaneously become political simply by fighting economic battles with employers over wages, working hours, and the like. To educate the working class on Marxism, the author insists that Marxists should form a political party, or vanguard, of dedicated revolutionaries in order to spread Marxist political ideas among the workers. The pamphlet, in part, precipitated the split of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party between Lenin's Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks--Adapted from Wikipedia.

War and Revolution
In a critique of Lenin's polemics, Draper goes on to show that the phrase reflected the confusion throughout the Second International over the issues of war and revolution leading up to World War I and points out the deleterious effects of this slogan, which, despite Lenin, became a slogan for the communist movement and the Left in general.
