#### Historical Materialism in the 21st century Through reconstruction of the work and life of Emmy and Roman Rosdolsky, their political formation amongst early 20th century's Galician radical youth and Red Vienna intellectuals, and their intense debates with important Marxist thinkers, we aim to a) keep memories of the revolutionary labor movement alive, and b) emphazise the ongoing relevance of historical materialism in the 21st century.
Viennese Unionist Emmy & Lvov Historian Roman have been active in the socialist movement since their youth. ![Cover](/images/cover.png)
