Most Important Marxist writing written by a someone other than marx?

Question

What is (in your opinion) the best marxist work that was not written by marx himself?

(Example: What is to be done, Vladimir Lenin)

Answer 1

I think that Bertell Ollmans work is very important. Marx is such a controversial character. He is almost universally abhorred here in the north, but very, very few have read him. I see this as a reflection of dominant ideologies shaping popular perceptions. Yet he is the most cited author in the social science citation index. His references cross all disciplines from aesthetics, biology, economics, philosophy, and beyond. He refused to see the world fragmented into abstract disciplines. It is this unity of vision that provides the real strength of his work. Remember that he was a philosopher first. Most of these early philosophical works were finally published years, or decades after they were written. The "Grundrisse" was only published for the first time in English in the 1970s.After years of trying to publish "The Critique of German Ideology" he left it for the "gnawing criticism of mice." These early works are critical to understanding Marx's epistemology and worldview. He claimed in these early works that he wanted to study everything from aesthetics to juriprudence. His first two studies were to be of politics and economics because of their importance for society and social change (I would agree to their importance to the direction of the world still to this day). So almost all of the north's understanding of Marx stems from his most political and activist works and not the philosophical works. The "Communist Manifesto" was written for the First International.
Bertell Ollman's work explores the epistemology of Marx. I am a social ecologist. It was his work that persuaded me that Marx is one of the premier ecological philosophers in western philosophy. His relational vision is amazing. As an aside it is ironic to read Marx's earlier works on pyschology, alienation, and human potential. This is hardly the Marx most people "know." He sounds like a "new age" philosopher, hardly an economic determinist.
Ollman's discussion of Marx's theories of language and thought as abstracts of much more complex relational dynamics are great.
Other authors I learned much from are Antonio Gramsci, Pierre Bourdieu, and Satre. The last two are not Marxist, per se, but have carried on "one long dialogue with Marx."

Answer 2

Anything by Friedrich Engels. Not Lenin. Lenin screwed up communism.

Answer 3

Federal Budget, 2000 thru 2008, by George "Dubya" Bush.

Biggest spending of any gov't, most military spending by any gov't, and most spending on police-state & domestic-spying programs. Lenin would be drooling with envy!
