Is Marxism a science? The poverty of Popper

Karl Popper dedicated his life to dressing up very commonplace arguments against socialism with philosophical and political critiques. The most famous one was to claim that Marxism is not scientific, since it does not satisfy his ‘falsifiability criterion’. Marx’s insights, therefore, did not make any serious advance from the utopian socialists that preceded him. In this episode of Marxist Voice, Khaled Malachi defends the scientific status of Marxism, and reveals the faults in Popper’s one-sided approach to both science and history. 🔗 Read more about Marxist philosophy over on our Marxist education hub: https://socialist.net/science-and-technology/ 📚 Get a copy of 'Reason in Revolt: Marxism and Modern Science': https://wellredbooks.co.uk/product/reason-in-revolt/ 🌐 Check out Socialist Appeal's website for theory, news, and analysis: https://socialist.net/ ✊ Join the fight for revolution with the International Marxist Tendency: https://socialist.net/join 📰 Subscribe to the Socialist Appeal newspaper: https://socialist.net/subscribe 💸 Support the fight for socialism by making a donation: https://socialist.net/donate
