HIST 181B: Red Flags/ Black Flags: Marxism vs Anarchism 1845-1968Instructor: Alexander Herbert Prerequisites: None Course Description: From Marx’s first major book in 1845 to the student-inspired French upheavals of 1968, the history of left-wing politics and ideas has been, in large part, that of struggles between Marxists and anarchists, or between Marxist orthodoxy and anarchist-inspired, left Marxist alternatives. The battle between bearers of the red and black flags is the topic of this course.This class will take place live over Zoom on Latte.
