Adam B. Ulam, associate professor of Government, and Martin E. Malia, assistant professor of History, both said that the speech made no fundamental change in Marxian doctrine. Both mentioned that Marx, late in life, envisaged peaceful means of achieving the classless society. Malia emphasized that this was merely another attempt at neutralizing Western Europe and disrupting the NATO alliance. Ulam noted that the new doctrine implied no willingness to make genuine concessions to the West...
Views: Very early, he decided that the working classes succeed only in alliance with the middle class. He does not think in Marxian terms of class warfare, has incurred the enmity of the far left by demanding the expulsion of Communists from union leadership.

Neither does the authoress, V. R. Lang, enjoy so glittering a reputation that one is compelled to find out just what she means. Another...
...Imperialism" is a term that belongs in the Classical vocabulary of Communist abuse. If the Russians use it with exceptional skill, it is only because they have an appreciation of its meaning. For within the USSR lies an empire as diverse and far-flung as anything the pre-Marxian world could assemble. The Formation of the Soviet Union, by Richard Pipes of the Russian Research Center, is a study of this empire in the making. Along with the gross anatomy of acquisition, Pipes combines a more rewarding discussion of the physiology of the empire, tracing the course of the troublesome...
