287 pages. Index. "An attempt to tell the almost complete story of the part pseudo Americans have played, and are playing, in the Communist conspiracy to destroy the American way of life, and to turn the United States of America over to the War Lords of Moscow. The book publishing industry, even today, is completely red, pink, orange or yellow. Not a single orthodox publisher would handle RED RAT RACE - and not in every case because it put the finger on disloyal 'Americans' in high places. Rather, those book houses not owned by Communist dupes and sympathizers lacked totally the intestinal fortitude to stand up against Communist abuse and vilification." - Preface. Includes an extensive list of alleged Communist front organizations and publications. Interesting chapter names include: Ten Thousand Little Stalins, Little Old Red Schoolhouse, China Sellout, Atom Bums, The America Last Club, and more. Average wear to maroon faux leather boards.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 15 cm). In Ottoman script. 4, 77 p., 1 plate. Stain some pages, slight tear on the fifth page, text unaffected. Otherwise a good copy. Benaroya was a Jewish socialist, member of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Workers' Party (Narrow Socialists), later leader of the Socialist Workers' Federation in the Ottoman Empire. Benaroya played a key role in the foundation of the Communist Party of Greece in 1918. Idealistic and pragmatic at the same time, in Thessaloniki Benaroya played a leading role in the creation, in 1909, of the mainly Jewish Socialist Workers' Federation, or in Ladino, Federacion. The organization took this name because built on the federative model of the Social Democratic Party of Austria, it was conceived as a federation of separate sections, each representing the four main ethnic groups of the city: Jews, Bulgarians, Greeks, and Turks. It published its literature in the languages of these four groups (i.e., Ladino, Bulgarian, Greek, and Turkish, respectively) but in practice, the two latter sections were under-represented if not nonexistent. The democratic Federacion soon became, under Benaroya's leadership, the strongest socialist party in the Ottoman Empire. It created combative trade unions, attracted important intellectuals, and gained a solid base of support among Macedonian workers while cultivating strong links with the Second International. From 1910 to 1911 Benaroya edited its influential newspaper, the Solidaridad Ovradera, printed in Ladino. Unlike other parties that were organized on ethnic lines, as a cross-community group, the Federacion was allowed by the Ottoman authorities. A prominent Bulgarian member, Dimitar Vlahov, was a socialist MP in the new Ottoman parliament until 1912. Indeed, its leaders initially supported the Young Turks, and Benaroya participated in the "Army of Freedom" march on Istanbul to help put down the Countercoup of 1909. Alarmed by the growing power of socialist groups, the CUP subsequently launched a crackdown, under which Benaroya was jailed three times, in early November 1910, June 1911 (when he was deported to Serbia), and February 1912 (when he was deported to Greece). Benaroya was interested in the Jewish Question since the beginning of his career and made efforts to promote Jewish causes throughout it. His first book was The Jewish Question and Social Democracy (1908) while once in Thessaloniki he founded a group called the Sephardic Circle of Socialist Studies. He also played a leading role in the creation, in 1909, of the mainly Jewish Federation. Apprehensive of what the resurgent Greek self-confidence behind the Megali Idea might mean for Jews in Greece and Asia Minor, at the time he labeled the campaign imperialist. He envisaged a state free from any ethnic divisions where Jews could exist un-persecuted and free, retaining their religion. Some of his fears might have been argued to have been realized when after the city's fire, the Venizelos administration did not rebuild the original Jewish section, adopting instead a French town plan, but a considerable proportion of the Jewish population remained throughout the following decades, with the Greek government guaranteeing their rights in March 1926. Benaroya was always very interested in combating anti-Semitism, while over later years he shifted his emphasis to reflect the sizable Thessaloniki Jewish community that chose to remain within the Greek state. After a historic meeting with Venizelos, Benaroya's tactical abilities resulted in the birth of the Socialist Labour Party of Greece (later named Communist) and the General Confederation of Greek Workers, which helped unite Greek workers.

In 16, pp. 47 + (1b). Lieve abrasione al p. ant. Sottolineature con lapis blu e rosso n.t. Br. ed. Seconda ed. italiana, rarissima (prima trad. italiana, Alessandria, Piccone, 1890) di questo noto pamphlet di Lafargue, secondo per importanza solo a 'Il diritto dell'ozio', uscito in ed. orig. nel 1897. In queste due opere Lafargue procede ad una diffusione del pensiero marxista che attechira' maggiormente tra le masse piuttosto che nell'ambiente dirigenziale del movimento. Anzi, su Lafargue peseranno anche giudizi poco benevoli da parte di chi lo accusera' di essere incline alla frivolezza, alla leggerezza, alle fantasie artistiche, nonche' grossolano ed esageratore. Nella Religione del capitale, Lafargue parla di una 'mistica' del lavoro sfrenato che gli operai, sempre piu' succubi, accettano passivamente. Questa mistica e' fatta di preghiere e professioni di fede in un vero e proprio catechismo imposto al salariato. Secondo l'A., l'ideale sarebbe una giornata lavorativa di tre ore; la riduzione dell'orario di lavoro comporterebbe un guadagmo sia per i salariati sia per i capitalisti (Cfr. 'Inventiva e invettiva nell'Ottocento francese...', p. 126-127).

Original Illustrated Wraps. 12mo. 96 pages. 19 cm. First edition. On cover: Y. Bovshover's poezyen. With frontispiece portrait of Bovshover. Poetic Works by Joseph Bovshover, a very early imprint of his poems, published in London by the anarchist Yiddish publisher Frayheyt Group. Joseph Bovshover (1873-1915) was born in Lubavitch, near Mogilev, White Russia, in a very Orthodox family, but left for America at age 18, and became a furrier in New York. He had a good job but began to write anarchist, revolutionary poems in Yiddish and to read them aloud in his shop. He was fired and worked as a journalist and tutor. He was considered the heir of Edelshtat, who had just died. Bovshover knew English very well and translated his own poetry and published it in English language periodicals. As a result he achieved some fame in the non-Jewish world too, but soon after began to suffer from a mental illness, and entered a mental hospital in 1899, where he remained until his death. His poetry, like Edelshtat's, was anarchist and revolutionary, and became popular throughout the Jewish world. (U Texas gottesman) Subjects: Yiddish poetry. Yiddish anarchism Sweatshop Poets.

Very Good Turkish Paperback not original. Booklet was illegal in its period, covered by 'Din dersleri' [i.e. 'Religious lessons']. Some markings and underlined sentences with a pen. Advance copy, proof reading copy. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Turkish. 58 p. [FIRST DECLARATION of 'TURKISH REVOLUTIONARY-PATH'] Devrimci Yol. Bildirge: Ülkemizde ve dünyada içinde bulundugumuz kosullar ve temel siyasî görevimiz.; Devrimci hareketin birligi ve partilesme süreci. Ülkemiz solunun dünü bugünü. Devrimci Yol (shortly DEV-YOL) was a Turkish political movement (as opposed to a tightly structured organization) with many supporters in trade unions and other professional institutions. Its ideology was based on Marxism-Leninism but rejected both the Soviet and the Chinese models in favor of a more native Turkish model, although it was influenced by the latter. Devrimci Yol entered the political scene in Turkey on 1 May 1977 with its manifesto called bildirge. Its roots can be seen in a movement that called itself Devrimci Gençlik ("Revolutionary Youth", short DEV-GENÇ), and it followed the thesis of Mahir Çayan. Extremely rare. Only two copies in OCLC: 81165643 (International Institute of Social History (IISG)) / 635015300 (Universita?tsbibliothek Bamberg).
