We are publishing below an article from our sister organisation Battaglia Comunista which they published in the April edition of their paper.

It is clear that the US bourgeoisie is bent on carrying war and death to every corner of the globe. As the forces of US imperialism plant their eagle on territories newly carved out for the penetration of US capital, other imperialist powers are hard pressed to resist as they watch US capitalism take everything from them.

    Russia: Revolution and Counter-Revolution, 1905-1924 - A View from the Communist Left

    Written by Jock Dominie. £12, 276pp.

    The Russian Revolution remains a landmark event in history. For the bourgeois historians, the October Revolution is thought to be a tragedy that set back the achievements of the “democratic” February Revolution, and allowed the Bolsheviks to wreak havoc on their citizens and the world. For the Stalinists, the events of 1917 paved the way for the birth of the USSR, which they point to as a prototypical example of “socialism in one country”. In reality, the February and October Revolutions were both part of the same proletarian revolution.

    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. Postage charges should be added. If in the UK, and paying direct to our bank account, first class postage is free. If via Paypal add £2. For Europe cost of a copy with postage is €20 (EUR), for Australia it is $42 (AUD) and for the USA and anywhere else in the world it is $27 (USD).
