Nimtz’s and Edwards’s real-time comparative political analysis offers a unique look at two historically consequential figures with two very different theoretical and political perspectives, both of whom expertly examined the most contentious issue of the nineteenth century. By juxtaposing the political thought and activism of Karl Marx and Frederick Douglass, Nimtz and Edwards are able to make insightful observations and conclusions about race and class in America. The Communist and the Revolutionary Liberal reveals how two still competing political perspectives, liberalism and Marxism, performed when the biggest breakthrough for the millennial-old democratic quest after the French Revolution occurred – the abolition of chattel slavery in the United States. In so doing, it presents potential lessons for today.

August H. Nimtz, beginning with his 2000 Marx and Engels: Their Contribution to the Democratic Breakthrough, seeks to bring Marx back to the world he consciously chose to join in 1843, namely politics. This co-authored Marx-Douglass comparison is his latest contribution toward that goal.
