This book is a profound search for a theory of social change. Through clearing away the cobwebs of revolutionary socialism, it renews the fight for the ending of capitalism and the construction of a new, fairer world. After a century of failed attempts by radical projects, the concept of revolution itself is in crisis.

El relato se articula en torno a las aventuras y desventuras de un muchacho incauto que siendo aún muy joven tiene la oportunidad de servir como escolta a uno de los hombres más icónicos de la revolución cubana: el comandante Camilo Cienfuegos. Como telón de fondo se despliegan los años dorados de Cuba, así como también en contraposición el período convulso y desenfrenado de la década del cincuenta, cuando gran parte de los cubanos salieron a luchar en pos de sus derechos.

In this ground-breaking analysis, author James Kurth (a Harvard student of Samuel Huntington) explains that the roots of America's current foreign policy crisis lie in contradictions of an American empire which attempted to transform traditional American national interests promoted by Presidents like Teddy Roosevelt and FDR into a new American-led global order that has unsuccessfully attempted to promote supposedly universal, rather than uniquely American, ideals.

After the collapse of the Russian Tsar, Lenin found himself in the middle of a nation-wide free-for-all, with every faction grasping for power. In this powerful, historic work, Lenin uses the teachings of Marx to skewer his opponents (anarchists, royalists, and social democrats) and build support for his Bolshevik program, thereby winning the fight for power, and changing the course of history. Touching on revolutionary tactics, political theory, and visions of a future free from hunger, this work is must-listen for historians, socialists, anarchists, and renegades of all persuasions.

It's amazing how relevant these century-old words of Bernard Shaw's are right now. Just like then nobody understands the concept of socialism, and the fact that any successful democracy is a socialist democracy to some extent.

They might not have had social media a hundred years ago, but this smackdown by Bernard Shaw on this poor guy is awesome. Also, this is a great way to actually learn what democratic socialism is instead of just throwing it around as a bogeyman buzzword.

An Appeal to the Young is a passionate tract by the anarchist philosopher Peter Kropotkin, which was translated from the Russian in 1884 by HM Hyndman. The next year it was published in San Francisco with the title To Young People by the International Workingmans Association (IWMA) in a translation by Marie LeCompte. It would be regularly reprinted in English language pamphlets in the years that followed, including editions in Australia, India, and elsewhere. The pamphlet is imbued with a fierce morality and by times earnest, scathing, condemnatory and passionate.

The publication in 1848 of The Communist Manifesto came at a time when industrialization was reaching its peak, and signs of the cost to the working class blatant; the Revolutions of 1848 were just getting under way. Marx and Engels shared the belief that "the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles" and this notion formed a central part of the manifesto they crafted together. They believed that industrialization was simply a new form of struggle among the classes - the price paid by the lower class still high.

Emma Goldman was initially supportive of Russia’s Bolshevik revolution. This 1918 pamphlet was published in elucidation of the revolution and in justification of the Bolsheviks. Goldman reversed her opinion in the wake of the Kronstadt rebellion and denounced the Soviet Union for its violent repression of independent voices.

Ernest Belfort Bax (1854-1926) was an English barrister, journalist, philosopher, rights advocate, and historian. In this essay, after dismissing St. Simonism, Fourierism, Owenism, and “Continental Nihilists”, Bax attempts to explain what modern socialism, taken broadly, really means. He outlines the three bases of modern socialism as the direction of industry by a democratic state instead of by private capitalists; as a universal Federal Republic to take the place of the present nationalist system; and in religion, a human ideal to take the place of theological cults.

This is certainly the edition you want to get. It has the full text of the Manifesto as written and published in 1848, plus a brief modern commentary which can be used to demonstrate the failure of the Communist system. The original text is the classic that steered many hundreds of millions into Communist revolutions around the world. They have all failed or are in the process of failing. The ones which have not failed are slowly yielding to the reality that capitalism is the driver of innovation and prosperity.

he Conquest of Bread is an 1892 book by the Russian anarcho-communist Peter Kropotkin. It first appeared as a series of articles in the French anarchist journal Le Révolté. Kropotkin points out what he considers to be the defects of the economic systems of feudalism and capitalism and why he believes they thrive on and maintain poverty and scarcity.

I tiden mellem de to verdenskrige spiller Skandinavien en hovedrolle for kommunistiske undergrundsaktiviteter med global rækkevidde. Med legale og illegale metoder dirigerer og kontrollerer magthaverne i Moskva den kamp, der skal udvide revolutionen i Rusland til intet mindre end en verdensrevolution. Fra Københavns små lejligheder over Stockholms smalle gader til det vindblæste Nordnorge eksisterer en underverden af mænd og kvinder, søfolk og akademikere, der målrettet arbejder på at forsvare Sovjetunionen og realisere deres ideal om en anden verden.

East Germany only existed for a short 40 years, but in that time, the country’s secret police, the Stasi, developed a highly successful “church department” that - using persuasion rather than threats - managed to recruit an extraordinary stable of clergy spies. Pastors, professors, seminary students, and even bishops spied on colleagues, other Christians, and anyone else they could report about to their handlers in the Stasi.

For decades, it has been easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. In the decade leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, booming banks, rising house prices, and cheap consumer goods propped up living standards in the rich world. Thirty years of rocketing debt and financial wizardry had masked the deep underlying fragility of finance-led growth, and in 2008 we were forced to pay up.

This is the first biography in English of Nikolai Ivanovich Kibalchich, who was hanged as the explosives technician of the "People's Will" party of terrorists who assassinated Russian Tsar Alexander II with a thrown grenade on March 1, 1881. While in prison awaiting execution, Kibalchich conceived and drew the design of the first rocket-powered human-piloted flying device, thus qualifying him in history as a "terrorist rocket pioneer".

Écrit en 1840, les idées révolutionnaires de Lamennais possèdent un accent prophétique quant aux incidences du capitalisme sur la liberté des hommes. Les prolétaires ne sont-ils pas en effet inféodés à un système - social, culturel et économique - qui ne profitent in fine qu'aux plus riches ? La réflexion de l'abbé reste à ce sujet d'une criante actualité. Extrait : "Le capitaliste et le prolétaire sont donc entre eux, de fait, à peu près dans les mêmes relations que le maître et l'esclave des sociétés antiques."

"Manifesto of the Communist Party" is an 1848 political pamphlet by the Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle and the conflicts of capitalism and the capitalist mode of production.

Charles Nordhoff (1830-1901) was a newspaper correspondent, novelist, and traveler. This work, published in 1875, is an extensive report on socialism and communism in their infancy. Nordhoff visited virtually all of the major utopian communities in America to record their history, beliefs, and daily life, and to study their doctrine and literature.

This essay was written in 1891 after Wilde had become enamored of concepts expressive of a liberal socialism. In his view, the aim of socialism should be "to try to reconstruct society on such a basis that poverty will be impossible". Typically, Wilde stresses the vital role played by art and the imperative significance of the artist.
