16346Genève, 1871. xvi, 311, (1) pp. 8vo. Modern half morocco, original covers preserved. Zaleski 79; not in Catalogue Russica. First French edition. Alexander Herzen (1812-70) was a prominent nineteenth-century Russian social thinker and is known as the 'father of Russian socialism.' Early in his intellectual development, Herzen was influenced by German idealist thinkers such as Schiller and Schelling. He believed in the autonomy and dignity of the individual and opposed forces, such as family and state, that oppressed the individual. Later, under the influence of French socialist thinkers such as Charles Fourier, Herzen's thought became more radical. Herzen projected his earlier concern for the oppressed individual onto society at large and he became a supporter of socialism. The socialism he envisioned was a loose federation of self-governing communes. Only in such a system could the ideal society be achieved- according to Herzen that society would be a free association of individuals which provided for the full flowering of each personality. Herzen initially placed his hopes for this future order in the European socialist movement. After the failure of the 1848 revolutions to achieve socialist principles, however, Herzen became disillusioned about European prospects and turned his attention to Russia. Herzen argued that socialist transformation would actually come first to Russia because communal institutions such as the peasant commune survived and bourgeois attitudes hadn't yet emerged. This sense of the advantages of Russian 'backwardness' was influential among the Populists in the 1870s. Herzen has been called a 'gentry revolutionary.' The illegitimate son of a wealthy landowner, Herzen viewed the gentry as a progressive class. The revolution he envisioned was for the people but not necessarily by them. Also, his socialism was a national destiny rather than a class one, and because he promoted the value of individualism in collectivist form--in other words, the full flowering of the individual could best be realized in a socialist order. Among Herzen's works are From the Other Shore (1848-50) and The Russian People and Socialism and his autobiography, My Past and Thoughts.He founded a periodical, the famous Kolokol, in whose pages the free word first appeared in the Russian language, unhampered by censor or police, exposing the government's secrets, criticizing bureaucratic abuses, approving the good intentions of the czar, the 'liberator', and trying to dictate to him a reform program.

Text entirely in English.<br /> <br /> Organ of the American student arm of the Iranian People's Fedayee Fedai Guerrillas an Iranian guerrilla communist group that opposed both Western capitalism and the 1979 Islamic Revolution the latter chiefly from exile. This group is not to be confused with the Organization of Iranian People's Fedai Guerrillas from which the IPFG split in 1979 citing the former's lack of dedication to the principles of armed struggle. The magazine's contents are a combination of attacks on Iran's "imperialist" Islamic regime and on the foreign policy of the United States which the organization blames for laying the foundation for the Islamic revolution beginning with the CIA coup of 1953. A rare publication from a key period in modern Iranian history before the Islamic Republic had irrevocably consolidated power.

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.

The first part of the letter details Molly Pritt's thanks for various articles of clothing sent to her by Pineles and others due to the shortages in post-war Britain. Especially "the problem of shoes for women and growing childrenwhich were such a comfort to me in Russia and indeed here" She writes of her husband N.P. Pritt's trip to the U.S. and the kindness of Pineles and her husband during his tour. She looks forward to accompanying him on a return journey and "I believe I could be very useful.During the war when I was vice chairman under the Dean of The Joint Committee for Soviet Aid I addressed literally thousands of meetings in all parts of the countryin huge ordnance factories town halls womens organisations and so on and even at a big boxing match 7000 people in the Albert Hall here! So I am quite an expert with all types of audiences. I am still at it of course since my visit to the Soviet Union last year when I received the decoration given me by the Supreme Soviet for my workI find audiences now rather like they were at the beginning of the waranxious for news of Russiaanxious to have their fears dispelledfear inculcated by the press of courseRobin Page Arnot 1890-1986 British political activist and historian foundation member of the CP Great Britain came to lunch yesterday.Now I must go out into the dark to tackle a housing problem of some of my husbands constituentsThey each came to ask my husbands advice about itand he suggested I should go and inspect and see if I could offer any solutionwhat a job!!

Denis Nowell Pritt 1887-1972 British lawyer and political activist "one of Britain's sturdiest fellow-travellers Pritt's legal talents were rapidly harnessed for a variety of progressive causes if incorrigible as a Stalinist he should be remembered too for diverting his career from more lucrative legal pastures to a mostly exemplary body of work for the labour and anti-colonial movements. If his plaudits from the people's democracies were fulsome he also knew the less pleasant experience of professional and social ostracism at home.

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.
