description: The Weapon of Theory is an accessible, non-technical introduction to a "lean, mean" version of Marxism. On the one hand (the "lean" aspect), Melkonian presents a Marxism that is devoid of the adventitious metaphysical formulations with which other Marxisms have been burdened. On the other hand (the "mean" aspect), Melkonian's Marxism focuses on the reality of such relations of domination as class conflict, exploitation, state power and imperialism. The book was written for "young adult" readers outside of academia. Nevertheless,it has been used quite successfully in the classroom.
