$34.00 USD
Sale Sold out

The Polemic on the General Line of the International Communist Movement is a collection of many of the most important documents by the Communist Party of China in its struggle against Khrushchev's modern revisionism. Following the restoration of capitalism in the Soviet Union by the Khrushchev clique, Chairman Mao Zedong and the CPC took up the defense of Marxism–Leninism internationally in “A Proposal Concerning the General Line of the International Communist Movement” and the Nine Comments on the Open Letter of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. These documents are central to understanding the struggle against revisionism and the development of the third stage of the ideology of the international proletariat, Maoism. In the interview of the century, Chairman Gonzalo remarked: “Some unlucky soul lent me the famous Chinese letter, ‘A Proposal Concerning the General Line of the International Communist Movement.’ He lent it to me on the condition that I’d return it. Obviously it was an understandable theft. The letter led me to get more deeply into the great struggle between Marxism and revisionism.” Also included in this volume is the article “Why Khrushchev Fell,” as well as two appended documents from the CPSU which directly demonstrate the bankruptcy of modern revisionism.

The Civil War in France

$18.00 USD
$18.00 USD
Sale Sold out

 The Civil War in France is Karl Marx’s analysis of the world-historic Paris Commune, the first attempt of the proletariat to seize State power, which succeeded for over two months. Marx in his Addresses to the International Workingmen's Association evaluated the Commune critically, praising the initial seizure of power in the face of invasion by German militarists and many of the measures passed by its working, not parliamentary, body, which consisted of workers paid workers’ wages. At the same time, Marx criticized its shortcomings, particularly not continuing the revolution, attempting to seize power countrywide. The Civil War in France developed the Marxist theory of the State, laying much of the groundwork for the Great V. I. Lenin’s The State and Revolution. In his 1891 Introduction to Marx's book, included here, Friedrich Engels wrote, “gentlemen, do you want to know what this dictatorship looks like? Look at the Paris Commune. That was the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.”

Dynamite: The Story of Class Violence in America

$28.00 USD
$28.00 USD
Sale Sold out

Louis Adamic's Dynamite: The Story of Class Violence in America is a historical overview which outlines the class struggle in the United States between the end of the Civil War and the onset of the Great Depression. While not a Communist, Adamic provides a worthy account of the development of the labor movement, particularly of how it employed violence in its struggle—albeit frequently spontaneous and not yet guided by the ideology of the international proletariat. Important episodes such as the Haymarket Affair, opposition to the First Imperialist World War, the farcical trial of Sacco and Vanzetti, and the rise and degeneration of the A. F. of L., among others, are examined across six main periods of labor struggle.

Sale Sold out

Republished here for the first time since its original 1861 release, A Voice from Harpers Ferry is Osborne P. Anderson's firsthand account of the raid on Harpers Ferry led by John Brown on October 16, 1859. The raid on the armory was a core aspect of Brown's strategy of anti-slavery warfare which would have provided militants with arms against the forces of the decadent slaveholding aristocracy. Militarily defeated but morally and politically victorious, Brown's raid served as the prelude for the impeding Civil War which would end slavery and consummate the victory of the bourgeois-democratic revolution in the United States.
