Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Walter Rodney was almost the same age as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr when he was assassinated on 13 June 1980 in Guyana at the age of 38. Throughout his short life, he waged a relentless battle against the horrors of capitalism, for which he should be revered as one of the great black leaders of the last century. Rodney is best known for his famous book How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, which he wrote in Tanzania in 1972. But he was also an influential Black Power advocate in Jamaica and in the final years of his life, he led a revolutionary struggle in Guyana. This short introduction is an overview of Rodney's life, activism and political thought, which aims to preserve and promote his legacy.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 'You might easily read great tomes on the English, French, American and Russian revolutions and still not encounter anything that explains all or any of them remotely as succinctly as this text does. The combination of erudition, brevity and clarity of thought, which was Duncan's forte, marked him out as one of the great socialist communicators of his generation, steeped in the Marxist tradition. I first read these essays as a novice shop steward in the early 1970s, and they have lost none of their sparkle, or wisdom.' - Jack Robertson, author of The Man Who Shook His Fist at the Tsar, and translator of Larissa Reisner: The Hammer and the Anvil.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Rosa Luxemburg was one of the key leaders of the German revolutionary left until her murder by right-wing militiamen in 1919 at the height of the attempted revolution. A young, Polish, Jewish woman, she had fearlessly taken on the theoretical giants of the Social Democratic Party of Germany in defence of revolutionary Marxism. This Rebel's Guide puts forward Luxemburg's case. She was an orator, teacher and leader who stood in the classical Marxist tradition - and an all-too-often overlooked revolutionary.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. George Orwell has been long a controversial figure for the left. In this talk from the Socialist Workers Party rally at Skegness in April 1984, Paul Foot mounts a passionate defence of Orwell, making a case for seeing Orwell's writing in its political context and the thrust of 1984 and Animal Farm deriving from his frustration that 'the things he really believed in, which were the movements from below, the activity of rank and file working-class people, were being suppressed.'

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Mass Strike, the Political Party and the Trade Unions was written in 1906 by Polish-born revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg. It brilliantly captures the fundamental lessons from the experience of mass workers' strikes and their role in the 1905 Russian Revolution. Luxemburg lived in a world in crisis - one characterised by the fast approach of the First World War - and in an era when revolutionary struggles and ideas broke out internationally. Now, over a century later, capitalism is lunging deeper into a crisis of mammoth economic, political, social and ecological proportions. The need for mass strikes that can spill over into revolution is now existential. In this short book, Luxemburg shows how strikes call into question the relationship between the working class and the employing class, how political and economic demands fuse in the course of such strikes, and how they can start to challenge the conservative approach of the trade union leaders. Her book is as relevant as ever in helping course the path to a revolution that can smash capitalism and build another world.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This updated edition of John Maclean: Red Clydesider marks the centenary of the death of John Maclean; the Glasgow schoolteacher who became one of the finest socialist leaders the British working class has ever produced. A fierce opponent of empire, Britain's war cabinet saw Maclean as public enemy number one, whereas Lenin and the leaders of the first ever workers' government in Russia regarded him as Britain's outstanding revolutionary. A key figure of Red Clydeside, Maclean was involved with the Clyde Workers' Committee, which spearheaded the rank and file revolt against the dismantling of trade union conditions during the First World War. He campaigned against spiraling wartime prices and helped lead the successful Glasgow rent strike of 1915, which pioneered council housing. He was only forty four when he died of pneumonia in November 1923. Yet his powerful legacy of anti-imperialism and commitment to workers' power lives on, making him a figure from history whose political message speaks to our new age of barbarism and catastrophe: 'I am not here as the accused. I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot. Fifteen years from the close of this war we are into the next war: if capitalism lasts, we cannot escape it. My appeal is to the working class because they and they alone can bring about the time when the whole world will be in one brotherhood, on a sound economic foundation. That can only be obtained, when the people of the world get the world and retain the world'. - From Maclean's speech from the dock, May 1918 Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. One of the most obscene spectacles of the Trump presidency has been that of evangelical pastors crowding round him to give him their blessing. But this is only a very public acknowledgement that he is very much their man. The 81 percent of white evangelical Christians, who made up a third of those voting for him, effectively put him in the White House. Not only did a large majority of evangelical Christians vote for him, but tens of thousands of them actively campaigned for him. How did they come to support an individual as saturated in sin as Trump? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Over 2022-3, Britain has seen the biggest wave of strikes in a generation. Workers are fighting back. This short book provides an initial balance sheet of the experiences of these strikes. The rediscovery by significant numbers of workers of their ability to take collective action is something to be celebrated. But too often union leaders have put forward only a limited strike strategy - and been willing to accept deals far short of what is needed or that could be achieved. The book examines the nature of the trade union bureaucracy and looks at some of the grassroots challenges to it in the past. It also asks what we can learn from the strikes over pensions in France, why Labour doesn't support the strikes, and what role socialist politics has in the workplace. It argues for a sharp challenge to the union bureaucracy and lays out a strategy for the way forward.
