Taking into consideration Marx’s analysis of communism both as a \u003ci\u003emovement\u003c\/i\u003e and a \u003ci\u003esocial formation\u003c\/i\u003e, this study focuses on the \u003ci\u003edialectics of transition\u003c\/i\u003e from capitalism to communism. Dealing with communism as the outcome of a long-term \u003ci\u003ecultural\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003epolitical\u003c\/i\u003e process, the author defends Marxian communism as the open-ended constitution of a self-governed \u003ci\u003edemos\u003c\/i\u003e, whose citizens create their own way of life on the ground of a stateless and classless society. From this point of view, the end of the state does not mean the end, but the revival of politics in terms of a communist \u003ci\u003ebios\u003c\/i\u003e. Reshaping their collective and personal values and setting limits to the production\/technology dynamics of their economy, this book argues, the citizens of a communist \u003ci\u003epolis\u003c\/i\u003e form a promising antithesis to the private individuals of a capitalist society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexandros Chrysis\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of the Philosophy of History \u0026amp; History of Ideas at Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Greece.
