- This article refers to the left wing American magazine. For the general concept of "class struggle," see class struggle.
The Class Struggle was a bi-monthly
Marxist theoretical
magazine published in
New York City by the
Socialist Publication Society. The SPS also published a series of
pamphlets, mostly reprints from the magazine during the short period of its existence. Among the initial editors of the publication were
Ludwig Lore,
Marxist theoreticians Louis B. Boudin and
Louis C. Fraina, the former of whom left the publication in 1918. In the third and final year of the periodical,
The Class Struggle emerged as one of the primary English-language voices of the
left wing factions within the American Socialist Party and its final issue was published in 1919 by the nascent
Communist Labor Party of America.
