1 In this I followed the interpretation initially suggested by Tucker, Robert C., Philosophy and Myth in Karl Marx (Cambridge, 1961), pp. 154–6Google Scholar. This interpretation has recently been challenged also by Evans, Michael, Karl Marx (London, 1975), p. 150Google Scholar, without, however, suggesting any evidence.
2 Resnick seems to take the term “co-operative society” from the text of the Critique of the Gotha Program itself, see: Marx, Karl/Engels, Frederick, Selected Works (Moscow, n.d.), I, 22Google Scholar. The German original, however, is “genossenschaftliche Gesellschaft,” which is better translated as “associational society”; see, Marx-Engels, , Werke (Berlin, 1962), XIX, 19Google Scholar. This is, incidentally, also the term suggested by Marx in the Communist Manifesto for the society emerging from the proletarian takeover. But for simplicity's sake, I have decided to follow Resnick's terminology and refer to the first stage of socialist society as described in the Critique of the Gotha Program as “co-operative society.”
