Socialism is fatally flawed because it bets on the proverbial rabbit to eat the fox the 101st time when the fox has eaten the rabbit the last 100 times. Socialism has failed their countries 100 out of 100 times based on one single foundational error: People will work as hard, often, and long for a collective as they would work for themselves personally. Never happened. Never will happen.

Lea Ypi grew up in one of the most isolated countries on earth, a place where communist ideals had officially replaced religion. Albania, the last Stalinist outpost in Europe, was almost impossible to visit, almost impossible to leave. It was a place of queuing and scarcity, of political executions and secret police. To Lea, it was home. People were equal, neighbours helped each other and children were expected to build a better world. There was community and hope. Then, in December 1990, a year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, everything changed.

Outlining the theory of communism by Marx and Engels, this political document explains the material conception of history and presents their theories and ideas of how in due course socialism would replace the capitalist society of the time.

This essay collection from renowned journalist and novelist Slavenka Drakulic, which quickly became a modern (and feminist) classic, draws back the Iron Curtain for a glimpse at the lives of Eastern European women under Communist regimes. Provocative, often witty, and always intensely personal, How We Survived Communism and Even Laughed cracks open a paradoxical world that through its rejection of capitalism and commoditization ends up fetishizing both.

Coming of age in America in the 1970s and 80s, Joe Weisberg was a Cold Warrior. After briefly studying Russian in Leningrad, he joined the CIA in 1990 - just in time to watch the Soviet Union collapse. But less than a decade after the first Cold War ended, a new one broke out. Russia changed in many of the ways that America hoped it might - more capitalist, more religious, more open to Western ideas. But US sanctions have crippled Russia's economy; and Russia's interventions have exacerbated political problems in America.

Much has been written about the anatomy of revolution from Edmund Burke to Crane Brinton Crane, Franz Fanon, and contemporary theorists of revolution found in the modern academy. Yet what is missing is a dissection of the revolutionary minds that destroyed the old for the creation of a more harmful new. Revolutionary Monsters presents a collective biography of five modern-day revolutionaries who came into power calling for the liberation of the people only to end up killing millions of people in the name of revolution.

Trace the growth of communism from Stalin’s consolidation of power to the establishment of communist regimes in Eastern Europe, China, Korea, Vietnam, and elsewhere in Communism in Power: From Stalin to Mao. These 12 half-hour lessons shed intriguing light on a revolutionary movement that played an outsized role in the 20th century and continues to shape 21st-century geopolitics.

Karl Marx / Friedrich Engels - "Das kommunistische Manifest". Die industrielle Revolution verursachte eine massive Landflucht. Unzählige Menschen aus bäuerlichen Verhältnissen versuchten ihr Glück als Arbeiter in den Städten, gehen dort jedoch in äußerst prekären Verhältnissen unter. Das Massenelend der Arbeiterklasse führte zum Aufkommen sozialistischer, bzw. kommunistischer Ideen in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts und die beiden deutschen Philosophen Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels verfassten ihr bis heute vielbeachtetes Werk "Das kommunistische Manifest".

Este texto siempre fue considerado por Simone Weil como su obra principal. En 1940, cuando pensaba irse de Francia, le escribió a un amigo para hacerle saber que le concedía un valor particular. Aunque fue escrito hace cerca de medio siglo, este ensayo llama la atención por su inmediata actualidad. Tras leer el manuscrito, Alain (Émile Chartier) le escribió a la autora: "Su trabajo es de la mayor importancia" y forma parte de esos pocos trabajos que abren "el futuro próximo" y preparan la "auténtica Revolución".

Tema fra i più spinosi e discussi nella storia dell'Ilalia repubblicana, il rapporto tra il Pci e l'Unione Sovietica negli anni della guerra e del primo dopoguerra è affrontato qui a partire da un'ampia documentazione di parte sovietica: soprattutto dai resoconti degli incontri di Togliatti e degli altri dirigenti del Pci con l'ambasciatore sovietico emerge un quadro stupefacente dell'allineamento del partito italiano agli obiettivi della politica estera sovietica.

¿Quién es Hugo Chávez: un combativo y avanzado líder político, artífice del "socialismo del siglo XXI", o un estereotipado aprendiz de dictador, populista y palabrero? ¿Qué es Venezuela: el laboratorio de la primera revolución del nuevo milenio o una nación que marcha, no sin resistencias civiles, hacia un duradero régimen autoritario?

A late-night visit to his Shanghai laneway house by China’s notorious secret police triggered a diplomatic storm which abruptly ended Michael Smith’s stint as one of Australia’s last foreign correspondents in China. After five days under consular protection, Smith was evacuated from a very different China to the country he first visited 25 years earlier.

By bridging Marxism and deconstructionism, this essay proves how Orwell's 1984 parallels the modern-day complacency among Americans. Typically, most will point out the obvious similarities like constant surveillance through screens (phones, televisions, computers), the ever-increasing wage gap between the rich and poor, and the creation of new laws that interfere with our constitutional freedoms.

Ochenta años después de la Guerra Civil, los comunistas de Iglesias volvían al Gobierno de la mano de los socialistas de Sánchez. Y, a la vez, se desataba la catástrofe del Covid19, que dotó al Gobierno de poderes especiales y permitió a Podemos afianzarse y desarrollar iniciativas desastrosas, desde el mantenimiento del 8M que dispara los contagios, hasta sus planes ecologistas contra el turismo y los automóviles o las subidas fiscales generalizadas.

Reform or Revolution, also titled Social Reform or Revolution? is an 1899 pamphlet by Polish-German Marxist theorist Rosa Luxemburg, in which she argues that trade unions, reformist political parties, and the expansion of social democracy would not create a socialist society as Eduard Bernstein, among others, argued. She contends from a historical materialist perspective that capitalism, being economically unsustainable, would eventually collapse.

"Ingrao mi riceve in un salottino, attorno a un tavolinetto basso. Lui mi sta seduto di fronte, in poltrona. Dialogando con lui sulla sua esperienza di pensare e fare il Comunismo avevo l'impressione che quel che diceva fosse meno di quel che pensava e viveva. Sentivo una passione a monte del suo discorso, che il discorso smorzava e riduceva a semplici parole. Sto dicendo che, in un certo senso, chi ha vissuto tutta una vita per fare il comunismo, contrae un'esperienza che in un tempo non comunista non è dicibile e non è comunicabile."

Guevara intended it to be a guidebook on guerrilla warfare, as inspiration for the revolutionary movement. Fascinating to admirers and adversaries alike, he captured the minds of millions with his leadership and his belief in guerrilla warfare as the only effective agent to achieve political change.
