It is written as an argument against those who oppose action and hold back the struggle." - Opening statement by Bernadine Dohrn, Billy (Bill) Ayers, Jeff Jones and Celia Sojourn. pp. [6], 7- 186, [6]. Frequently illustrated with grainy black and white reproductions of photos. Includes list of books studied in the preparation of this work.

We are communist women and men, underground in the United States for more than four years... Our intention is to disrupt the empire... to incapacitate it... to forge an underground, a clandestine political organization engaged in every form of struggle, protected from the eyes and weapons of the state, a base against repression, to accumulate lessons, experience and constant practice, a base from which to attack." - page 1 of an earlier edition.

The "Union of Socialists-Revolutionaries Maximalists was a political party in the Russian Empire, a radical wing expelled from the Socialist-Revolutionary Party in 1906. The Union united agrarian terrorists, the 'Moscow Opposition' and other radical dissidents from the PSR in an independent party. The Maximalists officially split off from the PSR at its Second Congress in Imatra in 1906. Maximalists played a role in both the Revolution of 1905 and the Revolution of 1917. Many former SR Maximalists eventually joined the Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik) .Maximalists were so called because they demanded the full implementation of the 'maximum programme' in the expected revolution: full socialisation of the land, factories and all other means of production. The orthodox Socialist-Revolutionaries wanted to start with land reform but defer socialisation of other means of production. The Maximalists also rejected the PSR's version of a 'two-stage' revolution, a theory associated with V.M. Chernov. According to Chernov, the coming revolution in Russia would not be purely 'bourgeois-democratic' as the Social-Democrats claimed, but would include social and economic as well as political reforms. It would be a 'popular-democratic' revolution, and would transition into a full-blown 'labour-socialist' revolution later on. The Maximalists rejected this as Social-Democratic 'attentism' and argued that the coming Russian revolution would not be able to stop half-way; it was the two-stage theory, not Maximalism, that was unrealistic if it thought the toiling masses, once liberated, would content themselves with a bourgeois republic and gradual reforms."

90 pages. "Communist plotters, in the United States as elsewhere, are preparing for the conquest of political power. The discerning student, however, should consider how interventionism, under various enticing labels, is setting the stage for the final overthrow of the voluntary society, the market economy and constitutional government. [This work], by a world-famous expert, will prove a valuable aid to understanding in this field. It will help to explain the errors of those who believe a system based on individual freedom can be 'mixed' with socialism." - Foreword. Prior owner's details upon toned front free endpaper.

18 voll. in 8 grande tutti ben rilegati in mz. tl. coeva con titoli e annate stampigliati in oro al dorso. Diciotto annate consecutive complete dal giugno 1944 al 1961 della rivista, fondata da Palmiro Togliatti, che fu l'espressione ideologica del PCI. La rivista inauguro' il corso delle sue pubblicazioni con il no 1 del giugno del 1944, dopo la liberazione di Roma, con il nome "La Rinascita" che poi divenne nel gennaio del '45 "Rinascita" con l'aggiunta del sottotitolo "Rassegna di politica e di cultura italiana". Il nome rimane invariato fino alla cessazione delle pubblicazioni nel 1989. La periodicita' fu mensile fino all'aprile del 1962 per divenire poi settimanale quando si affianco' alla rivista anche il supplemento "Il Contemporaneo". Rinascita conservo' l'originaria struttura editoriale sino ai primi anni Sessanta, quando vennero introdotti alcuni cambiamenti per renderla piu' aderente alle trasformazioni che investivano l'Italia in quel decennio. Dopo la morte di Togliatti, nel 1964, alla direzione si alternarono molti dirigenti del Partito: Gian Carlo Pajetta, Luca Pavolini, Alessandro Natta, Gerardo Chiaromonte, Alfredo Reichlin... Sospese la pubblicazione dall'agosto 1989 sino al gennaio 1990, quando usci' con un nuovo formato e una nuova numerazione, sotto la direzione di Alberto Asor Rosa. Togliatti, in due interventi nel primo numero, firmandosi nel primo Ercoli e nel secondo Togliatti, spiega che i comunisti rappresentavano l'avanguardia di tutte le forze nazionali, che il vecchio partito di sovversivi si era trasformato nel partito dell'unita' "della classe operaia, delle forze antifasciste, unita' di tutta la nazione...". Togliatti affida dunque a Rinascita il compito di costruire l'ideologia del "partito nuovo" pubblicando fin da subito articoli destinati a definire i caratteri del rinnovato Partito comunista. Oltre ad essere formalmente il direttore, Togliatti era anche personalmente coinvolto nella scelta degli articoli e nel controllo dei loro contenuto. I ledear del partito scrivevano su Rinascita cosi' come un nutrito gruppo di intellettuali, storici, filosofi, giuristi, critici letterari di estrazione non comunista. Tra i collaboratori politici: Pajetta, Pavolini, Natta, Chiaromonte, Coppola, Ferrara, Reichlin, Ledda, Pietro Ingrao, Armando Cossutta, Luciano Lama, Giorgio Amendola, Franco Calamandrei, Luigi Longo, Giorgio Napolitano. La rivista era principalmente caratterizzata da contributi di argomento socio politico ed economico, tuttavia un certo spazio era riservato anche alle arti e alla rassegna letteraria. Fra gli altri si segnalano interventi sul cinema di Carlo Lizzani, Vittorio De Sica, Virgilio Tosi, interventi sul teatro di Luchino Visconti, sulle biennali di Guttuso... Fra i critici letterari le principali firme erano Manacorda, Sapegno, Chiarini, Ferretti...

He was also awarded the Israel Prize for jurisprudence in 1957. (Wikipedia, 2018) . SUBJECTS: Jewish law -- Periodicals. OCLC lists three copies worldwide (HUC, Brandeis, Harvard) , none in New York.

The first issue alone contained The Autocracy and the Proletariat (an editorial) , On Good Demonstrations of Proletarians and Poor Arguments of Certain Intellectuals, Time to Call a Halt, and other articles by Lenin. The significance of Vpered in the history of the CPSU is defined by the fact that the paper was an ideological-political organ abroad that cooperated with the practical organ in Russiathe Bureau of Committees of the Majorityto give political and organizational shape to Bolshevism (The Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 3rd Edition. 1979) . Vpered articles include: Somneniya Dvuglavago Orla [Doubts About the Double-Headed Eagle] -- Politika Ustupok [Policy Concessions] -- Nachalo Revolyutsii v Rossii [The Beginning of the Revolution in Russia] -- Dolzhni-li My Organizovat Revolyutsiyu [Should We Organize a Revolution] -- Bankrotstvo Politseyskago Rezhima [Bankruptcy of a Police Regime] -- Bakinskiy Pogrom [Baku Pogrom] -- Marks ob Amerikanskom Chernom Peredele [Marx on American Black Redistribution] -- Vozrozhdenie Pravoslavnoy Tserkvi [The Rebirth of the Orthodox Church] -- Rol Organizatsiy v Narodnykh Dvizhenyakh [The Role of Organizations in the Peoples Movement]. Proletariy was published in Geneva from May 14 (27) until November 12 (25) , 1905, with a total of twenty-six issues during the heights of political and social unrest of the Revolution of 1905. Active in the work of the editorial board were V. Vorovsky A. Lunacharsky, and M. Olminsky. Proletariy continued the policy of the old, Leninist Iskra, and maintained full continuity with the Bolshevik newspaper Vpered. Proletariy articles include: Mezhdunarodnoe Znachenie Russkoy Revolyutsii [International Significance of the Russian Revolution] -- Demokraticheskiya Zadachi Revolyutsionnago Proletariata [Democratic Tasks of the Revolutionary Proletariat] -- Noviy Revolyutsionnyy Rabochiy Soyuz [New Revolutionary Workers Union] -- Rabochiy Klass I ego Vragi [The Working Class and Its Enemies] -- Russkiy Tsar Ischet Zaschity Svoego Naroda Y Turetskago Sultana [Russian Tsar Seeks Protection From His Own People With Turkish Sultan] -- Ocherki iz Revolyutsionnoy Borby Zapadno-Evropeyskago Proletariata [Sketched from the Revolutionary Fight of the Western European Proletariat] -- Edinenie Tsarya s Narodom I Naroda s Tsarem [Union of the Tsar and with the People and of the People with the Tsar] -- Pervaya Pobeda Revolyutsii [The First Victory of the Revolution].

First Edition. <br /><br />Small Quarto 10 7/8 x 9 1/4 inches; 275 x 235 mm 124 pages in illustrated boards. <br /><br />A collection of anti-Hitler and anti-U.S. cartoons by the great Soviet cartoonist Boris Efimov 1900-2008 whose name is rendered in Czech as Boris Jefimova. The anthology starts in the 1930s with the rise of Hitler and carries forward to the late 1940s attacking the Marshall Plan Wall Street fat cats the Western alliance and the U.S. position in Korea.<br /><br />By contrast and not surprisingly the Soviet Union is portrayed heroically having single-handedly defeated Hitler. Given the preponderance of Wall Street financiers in the cartoons Wall Street appears to be behind Western imperialism and belligerence and even abetted the rise of Hitler. The book opens with a quote from "J. Stalin" and contains 60 cartoons mostly in black-and-white but some containing deep red representing of course the supposed nobility of the Soviet Union and its allies. <br /><br />Copies of this Czech-language book are uncommon. OCLC lists just three institutional holdings: the College of William and Mary the National Library of the Czech Republic and the University of Leipzig. <br /><br />A very good striking example of Czech-Russian agitprop during the dark days of the Cold War. <b>SCARCE</b>. <br /><br />CONDITION: Light soiling and wear to the boards but the pages are clean and bright.

The reader does not find in this extensively researched account the standard Soviet answers to specific historical questions.

197116792Roma: Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada 1971. First Edition. Lithographed poster offset in three colors; 100cm x 70cm ca 40" x 28"; on heavy paper. Minor toning; light creases at margins; Near Fine - Grade A/A-. A bit of a puzzle: the poster appears to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the formation of the Associazione Bandiera Rossa an Italian Trotskyist group; but the poster bears the imprint of the PCI the main-line Marxist-Leninist party in Italy -- an ideological implausibility even within the chaotic confines of Italian Marxism. Adding further to the confusion is a quotation from Antonio Gramsci founder of the PCI in upper right. In any case a terrific graphic attributed here to Luciano Prati whose name we encounter on a few late-70s Italian film posters but nowhere else. Duke University appears to be the only North American institution to hold a catalogued copy of this work. Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada unknown books
