Johannes Agnoli was a Italian Marxist political scientist, though he rejected the label Marxist, preferring instead - somewhat ironically - to call himself an Agnolist. Werner Bonefeld, a founder of Open Marxism, was a student of Agnoli's in Berlin. This piece first appeared in German in 1990 and was translated by Bonefeld for issue #12 of the journal Common Sense.
