O.P. <br/><br/>This English translation contains an autobiography by Mironov which was not in the Russian edition. It details his anti-Marxism philosophy while a student in Leningrad. "The author has assimilated a large body of foreign scholarship primarily "new social history" produced by Anglo-American authors along with a sprinkling of more broadly European economic and demographic history from the 1970s and 1980s which is effectively incorporated into his own very deep empirical knowledge. . The reader does not find in this extensively researched account the standard Soviet answers to specific historical questions. Mironov has abandoned most Soviet cliches though he still assumes that laws of Russian history can be identified based on social science theory and quantitative analysis Elise Kimerling Wirtschafter."

First Edition. 12mo 7 1/4 x 5 inches; 183 x 126 mm 40 pages in stapled wrappers. <br /> <br />A spirited -- rollicking even! -- essay with attacks on "fakers" "impostors" "swindlers" and other enemies of the working class. <br /> <br />May Day is the true holiday of the proletariat the author says while Labor Day in the U.S. is fake because it "sticks to the hollow pretense of a brotherhood between capital and labor." <br /> <br />Issued by the radical Socialist Labor Party the pamphlet argues that American labor leaders have eagerly embraced the capitalist class. "The 'labor' leaders travel through the country in the grandest style stop at the 'swellest' hotels--often as not manned with non-union labor. Where they go liquor flows expensively and plentifully--sometimes swinishly." page 30 <br /> <br />The author Olive M. Johnson 1872-1954 was a longtime activist editor and pamphleteer for the Socialist Labor Party. <br /> <br />This pamphlet is peak agit-prop.

19411284Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Communist Party n.d. 1941. No edition stated. <br /><br />Single sheet of newsprint folded to create four pages of approximately 8 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches 211 x 266 mm. <br /><br />Rare announcement of a speech by Communist Party Chairman William Z. Foster in Los Angeles a little more than a month after Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The announcement appears at the beginning of a text in which the Party calls for the U.S. to spare no effort in defeating Germany: "There can be no peace for the peoples of the world without the complete destruction of Hitler and Hitlerism. Hitler fascism stands exposed as the greatest and main enemy of the peoples of the world."<br /><br />Prior to Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union the Communist Party strongly opposed U.S. involvement in World War II maintaining that the fight between Germany and Britain was an imperialist war. Obviously that policy changed 180 degrees following the German invasion of the USSR. <br /><br />An interesting look at how the Communist Party's position drastically shifted after the German invasion of the Soviet Union. <br /><br />No institutional copies found in OCLC. None in commerce in February 2022. <b>RARE.</b><br /><br />CONDITION: Evenly toned pencil notation at top left corner of cover page couple small closed tears. Horizontal fold probably due to mailing.

1949182587Shanghai: Taipingyang chubanshe 1949. First edition of this large political visualization significant for its publication date only a few weeks before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It reflects an increased demand for material explaining the ideology of the Chinese Communist Party caused by the party's victory in the civil war and the complete collapse of the Kuomintang on the mainland. The table presents some of the core ideas of Marxism tracking economic and cultural evolution from primitive through to capitalist and then socialist societies. The columns address such criteria as modes and means of production vanguard revolutionary forces and class relations. Although the table accommodates a transitional period from capitalism and socialism this differs from the "new democracy" approach favoured by Mao in the PRC's early years. Printed table 530 x 680 mm folding away into 157 x 107 mm card wrappers front cover lettered in red within black frame. Table in Chinese text printed in red and black. Table with 140 mm closed tear sometime repaired on recto with adhesive tape small split at one intersection unknown
