In 8, pp. (4) + 246 + (2). Lievi puntinature d'umido alle prime 2 cc., per il resto ottimo esemplare. Tagli spruzzati. M. pl. coeva. Terza edizione ma prima in questa versione (novembre '33). L'incalzare degli avvenimenti successivi alla rivoluzione di luglio rese quest'opera un 'istant book', con integrazioni e modifiche nelle varie edizioni pubblicate tra il '32 e il '34. Nell'analisi dei fatti a lui contemporanei, Cabet si rifa' a molti degli avvenimenti legati alle varie fasi della rivoluzione francese. Cabet, che aveva partecipato attivamente alla rivolta del luglio 1830, per fuggire al clima reazionario della Francia di Luigi Filippo, si trasferi' presto in Inghilterra, dove entro' in contatto con le teorie comuniste e in particolare con Owen. Nel 1840, rientrato in Francia publico' la sua opera utopistica piu' importante, Voyage en Icarie, grazie alla quale si guadagno' la fama di apostolo di un comunismo pacifico e filantropico, ispirato in parte al comunismo egualitario di Babeuf e alle teorie dei riformatori illuministi del Settecento. Da notare che nel 1848 un primo gruppo di seguaci di Cabet si trasferira' negli Stati Uniti dove tentera' di realizzare la citta' ideale proposta nel Voyage en Icarie. L'esperimento sopravvisse a Cabet (che mori' nel 1856) e ando' avanti attraverso scissioni, spostamenti e fasi alterne sino al 1895, quando la comunita' si sciolse e i beni' vennero divisi. Cfr. Bravo, Le origini del socialismo contemporaneo, p. 48 e segg.

First Edition. <br /><br />An appeal by former Communist Party USA General Secretary Earl Browder to the party membership dated just days after his expulsion from the party. Printed at his own expense there's even a coupon for sending in a donation <br /><br />Browder argues that he has faithfully followed the party line and denies he has engaged in factionalism or attempting to undermine the party's current leadership. He further states that he was given no opportunity to defend himself during a "trial" by the party's national board.<br /><br />As far as Communists go Browder 1891-1973 was actually fairly moderate compared with his left-wing nemesis William Z. Foster. Among other things Browder advocated cooperation with the Roosevelt and Truman administrations as well as with other progressive groups. But following the end of World War II the Communist Party following the Soviet line adopted a much more confrontational policy toward the U.S. government and became even more radical and insular.

19342256New York: The Workers School 1934. <br /><br />Octavo-sized pamphlet measuring 8 7/8 x 6 inches 225 x 152 mm 16 pages in stapled printed wrappers. Laid in is a slightly smaller handbill printed recto only. <br /><br />A pamphlet listing courses available during the Fall 1934 term at the Workers School in New York which was operated by the Communist Party USA. The school offered a staggering number of evening courses in various aspects of Marxism-Leninism economics and history all from the Party's standpoint. The school located at 35 East 12th Street in Manhattan was one of many Workers Schools that the Party operated around the country. That building now consists of co-op apartments that sell for millions of dollars unaffordable by any proletarians. <br /><br />There were also courses in English and Russian along with "special courses" such as "Problems of the Negro Liberation Movement" taught by James W. Ford the CPUSA's candidate for Vice President in the three elections from 1932-1940. Another special course was "Revolutionary Interpretation of Modern Literature" taught by staff members of New Masses magazine including Mike Gold and Joseph Freeman. <br /><br />Tuition for each course was $3. The school emphasized that it wasn't an academic institution and that it "participates in all the current struggles of the working class" including strikes and demonstrations. Nonetheless it was clearly no-nonsense. In a section on attendance the pamphlet states: "Classes begin promptly at the hour set. Regular and punctual attendance is required. Failure to attend two weeks in succession without explanation will necessitate elimination of the student from the rolls." <br /><br />Included with this pamphlet is a handbill for the Workers School highlighting "Courses for Workers." One of the lecturers listed is "Browder" referring to Earl Browder the general secretary of the CPUSA. <br /><br />This pamphlet and handbill are rare. OCLC shows no institutional holdings although it's possible they're included in uncatalogued ephemera collections.<b> RARE</b>. <br /><br />A fascinating insight into Communist education during the Depression years of the 1930s. <br /><br />CONDITION: The pamphlet has some soiling and edge wear to the wrappers as well as rusted staples.
