Another good intellectual in the UK SWP is John Rees, "The Algebra of Revoluton,", 1998. On Lukacs, the dialectic. Blurbed by Hitchens. And Walt Sheasby Contraras of the Greens here, "For the reader who wants an introduction to the history of dialectical thought in the socialist movement, and especially the thorny issue of the Nature and Human interelationship, the only work that is both readable and not over-simplified is The Algebra of Revolution: The Dialectic and the Classical Marxist Tradition by John Rees (Routledge, 1998)." http://www.greens.org/s-r/22/22-14.html Michael Pugliese
