It came from the colonies, where activists such as M.N. Roy, Ho Chi Minh, Tan Malaka and others worked to break the chains of empire. Over the decades, anti-colonial freedom movements transformed the face of the world. This book portrays how this movement took shape. Pioneer revolutionists from oppressed countries, in their own words, pinpoint the movement's weaknesses, debate its problems, and develop a global strategy and programme. Among other things, the book highlights how in 1920, at a conference in Baku, women won the right to comradeship with men on an equal basis; revolutionary leaders from Asia convinced the Moscow government to combat chauvinist abuses of Soviet power; and V.I.

This precious historical record is vitally important to all those who seek a socialist future.…
