Marx and Marxism Web Guide
compiled by Ralph Dumain
Resources on the Web
Web resources on Marx and Marxism comprise too huge a category to document comprehensively. The focus here is Marxology and Marxist philosophy, theory, and history, primarily resources in the English language. While these links in turn lead to the widest variety of sources, the concentration here is on general sources and theoretical matters, implying, even with the coverage below, an inevitable slighting of: (1) specific thinkers, schools of thought, traditions, some of which I document separately (e.g. Soviet Philosophy, Frankfurt School); (2) organizations and political parties, political tendencies, journals, newspapers, and other periodicals, presses and publishers, archives, individuals, topical political issues, blogs, online discussion lists; (3) non-Marxist resources on socialism, communism, anarchism, the left, the general labor movement and social movements; (4) non-English-language sources.

Resources on this Site
Instead of listing all web pages by Marxists or pertaining to Marxism individually, I will list bibliographies and study guides where relevant links can be found, and individual pages that don't fit into these categories or that belong to other categories designated below. This task is inherently selective as there is no boundary delimiting Marxism.
