1921: Beginning of the Counter-Revolution?

Kronstadt, the introduction of the NEP, the banning of factions, the failure of the March Action in Germany and the adoption of the united front policy, all made 1921 a highly significant year in the degeneration of both the Russian and international revolution. A revised and expanded edition of the original pamphlet. £3 plus postage

The pamphlet can be ordered by emailing us at uk@leftcom.org and asking for our banking details, or by donating the cost of the publications required via Paypal using the “Donate” button.

The Economic Foundations of Capitalism's Rise and Decline

Written by the CWO. £5 plus postage, 106pp.

This book aims to explain the material basis of the capitalist world and why it cannot be reformed, as so many self-styled “socialists” believe. This awareness is the basis for understanding that only the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism can change the direction in which the world is heading.

The book can be ordered by emailing us at uk@leftcom.org and asking for our banking details, or by donating the cost of the publications required via Paypal using the “Donate” button.
