25.01.2022 We're so excited to be launching a new book by Tom Bramble and Mick Armstrong on the highpoints of workers' struggle in the 20th century. Order your copy now and don't miss out on the first print run! -------------------- The Russian Revolution of 1917 announced to the world that a new era had dawned. For the first time workers had succeeded in taking power. The fight was now on for the loyalty of the workers' movement internationally - between the established social democrat...ic leaders who had betrayed their followers by backing the imperialist slaughter of World War I and the new communist parties, organised in the Communist International, dedicated to bringing down the capitalist system. The battle for leadership took place in the context of a massive upsurge of working class struggle where the formation of workers' councils put the question of workers' power on the agenda in country after country. Tragically, the revolutionary wave was defeated and the, now isolated, Russian workers' state was smashed by a rising bureaucracy led by Stalin. The new Russian dictator proceeded to turn the Communist International - formed as a weapon to fight class war against the capitalists - into a counter-revolutionary weapon in the hands of the new ruling class in Moscow. This book tells the story of the rise and fall of the Communist International and the lessons it has for us today. https://shop.redflag.org.au//the-fight-for-workers-power-r

15.01.2022 Join us at 6pm on Wed 23 June to celebrate an exciting new contribution to revolutionary history: "The Fight for Workers' Power: Revolution and Counter Revolution in the 20th Century" by Tom Bramble and Mick Armstrong, published by Interventions. The authors, themselves both long-term revolutionary Marxists and activists, trace the workers' movement of the 20th century through some of its key moments, including the Chinese revolution of 1926, the Spanish Civil War of 1936, Wo...rld War Two and the anti-fascist resistance in Greece and Italy. They examine the betrayals of reformist forces dedicated to maintaining the capitalist order, the revolutionary hope unleashed around the world by the Russian Revolution, and the crushing of that hope at the hands of Stalin.
