"Marxism and Darwinism: Evidence, speeches, and papers in its favour" by Anton Pannekoek examines how the science of evolution through Darwinism and the societal observations of Marxism connect to the evolution of society. The book puts forth arguments and evidence that the theories are not in conflict, but rather complementary in understanding how society and biology change. It talks about ideas from Darwin, like "struggle for existence," and finds similar ideas in Marxism, which focuses on class struggles. The book argues that society evolves much like living things do, with technology and production methods pushing society forward, and sees socialism as the next step in human progress, using both science and social ideas to understand changes in society, class, and human relationships.
