Communism: Setting the Record Straight

February 9, 2015 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us

 

This eBook takes on and refutes the ruling and false narrative of capitalist society that communism has been a failure and nightmare. Raymond Lotta analyzes the actual reality of the Russian and Chinese revolutions: their liberatory aims and extraordinary accomplishments; their shortcomings and problems; and the causes of their eventual defeat. He discusses Bob Avakian’s new synthesis of communism and the basis to go further and do better in a new stage of communist revolution. The reader will come away with new, scientific understanding of how these revolutions opened a whole new chapter in world history.

The REAL History of Communist Revolution

An account of the history of communist revolutions that focuses on the creation of new institutions, organizations and collective practices that have been largely ignored in the standard literature.

—Michael Brown,
Professor of Sociology and Anthropology,
Northeastern University

A welcome counterpoint to the contemporary treatment of communist history, demonstrating vividly why and how so many millions of people joined these movements, or drew inspiration from them.

Raymond Lotta's research and argumentation demonstrate forcefully that a better world for humanity is indeed possible.
