Abstract

This article charts the main views of some marxist theorists about democracy and its relationship with socialism. Based on reflections developed during the first half of the 20th century, attempts to elucidate the peculiarities of a very strong debate that took place at that time have been made. This provided the elements to understand the fundamental issues that were raised during the second half of this century by part of the western socialist movement. This movement gave great emphasis to the necessary imbrications between political democracy and socialism.
