Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Revolutionary Reassessment of Marx's Living LegacyErnest Mandel stands as one of the 20th century's most important Marxist theorists, yet his work remains systematically misrepresented by sectarian critics more interested in polemic scoring than genuine revolutionary dialogue. This collection exposes how the Alliance for Workers' Liberty fabricated false positions, distorted Mandel's economic analysis, and weaponized sectarian dishonesty against one of the Fourth International's greatest thinkers.WHY THIS BOOK MATTERS NOWIn an era where the international left faces unprecedented fragmentation and sectarian warfare, this book retrieves a crucial lesson: revolutionary unity requires intellectual honesty and genuine engagement with sophisticated Marxist analysis. Mandel's evolving approach to theory-his willingness to revise positions in light of new evidence, his integration of dialectical method with concrete analysis, his insistence that Marxism is a "living science" rather than dogma-offers today's activists an alternative to both bureaucratic conservatism and sectarian rigidity.WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVERPart One traces Mandel's intellectual evolution across the major political questions of the post-war period. From his early analysis of Maoism through his engagement with Yugoslavia's market socialism and his debates with Che Guevara over Cuban economic strategy, this section reveals how a genuine revolutionary theorist develops positions through rigorous engagement with historical realities rather than abstract formulas.Part Two directly confronts the AWL's systematic distortions: false crisis theory accusations, invented positions on China, fabricated claims about Mandel's views on the USSR's collapse, and outright falsification of historical records. This detailed demolition of sectarian polemic demonstrates how misrepresentation operates within the left and why intellectual standards matter for revolutionary politics.Part Three examines the 1953 East Berlin uprising, where sectarian dishonesty about Fourth International positions reveals how organizational memory gets destroyed and revolutionary history gets rewritten to serve narrow factional interests.WHY READ THIS NOW?Mandel died 30 years ago, but the questions he grappled with define our moment: Can isolated revolutions survive capitalist encirclement? How do revolutionary movements avoid bureaucratic degeneration? What role should democracy play in socialist construction? How do revolutionaries analyze hybrid systems that combine elements of workers' control with market mechanisms? What does internationalism actually require?Contemporary debates about Ukraine, Gaza, US imperialism, and Chinese developments cannot be adequately addressed without understanding how Mandel approached similar questions. His framework for analyzing deformed workers' states, his emphasis on democratic workers' control as the ultimate safeguard against bureaucracy, and his refusal to accept simplified nationalist apologies for Stalinist regimes offer essential political tools for today's activists.This book recovers Mandel's actual positions-not simplified caricatures-and demonstrates why open Marxism, rooted in rigorous theory and honest debate, remains the revolutionary alternative to both reformism and sectarianism.ESSENTIAL READING FOR: - Activists seeking rigorous analysis beyond sectarian dogma- People engaging with contemporary debates- Marxist theorists understanding post-war socialist developments- Revolutionaries committed to genuine left unity based on honest intellectual standards Defending Ernest Mandel against sectarian distortion.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What does it mean to build effective movements today? This collection gathers Red Mole's most-read essays from 2025 on the left's organizational failures, strategic dilemmas, and paths toward genuine revolutionary transformation.For activists and organizers facing fragmenting movements, compromised leadership, and the relentless pressure of capitalist accommodation, this book offers something rare: rigorous strategic analysis grounded in historical lessons and Fourth Internationalist theory, written for people actually building movements-not academics debating abstractions.The Crisis We FaceThe traditional left is collapsing. Social democratic parties have become indistinguishable from conservatives. Radical parties that win elections discover parliamentary pressure inexorably pulls them toward compromise. The far-right monopolizes opposition to neoliberalism by default, not superior strategy. Meanwhile, the revolutionary left fragments into competing sects, each convinced the others are sellouts or sectarians.This isn't accidental. It's structural. And it's predictable.Red Mole diagnoses how these collapses happen-and more importantly, how to prevent them.What's InsidePart One: Ideological Mapping & Strategic FrameworksUnderstand the four distinct forms of "conservative leftism" now dominating European and American politics-from Sahra Wagenknecht's red-brown fusion of left economics and far-right cultural politics, to the campist defense of authoritarian regimes, to social democratic surrender to neoliberalism. Learn to distinguish genuine working-class politics from its pale imitations.Explore the theoretical debates shaping revolutionary strategy: Why does permanent revolution theory struggle with 21st-century conditions? How did the Fourth International survive the collapse that destroyed every rival Trotskyist formation? What can historical organizational splits teach us about preventing future defeats?Part Two: Contemporary Organizational AnalysisReal organizations, real crises, real lessons. Why did the Committee for a Workers' International (CWI) fail to support Ireland's historic left breakthrough? How did the Dutch Socialist Party's electoral success mask a catastrophic loss of organizational independence? What can we learn from Die Linke's recovery as it faces the AfD's fascist advance?Each piece analyzes living organizational struggles with named protagonists making strategic decisions under pressure-the kind of analysis that helps activists understand what actually happens when radical parties face the gravitational pull of parliamentarism.Part Three: International Left StrategyThe Ukraine war isn't just a geopolitical crisis-it's exposed fundamental divisions in how the international left understands imperialism, national liberation, and revolutionary strategy. Red Mole cuts through the fog of campism (supporting any regime that opposes "the West") and false pacifism to clarify what genuine anti-imperialism means in a multipolar world.Analyze the French left's NPA split between "open" (strategic united front participation) and "closed" (sectarian independence) approaches. Examine how Scotland's left learned the hard way that centralized, London-based "new parties" fail without genuine national autonomy. Understand why Lenin's critique of "imperialist economism" remains essential for contemporary revolutionary organizations. Red Mole is something rare on the contemporary left: strategic intelligence written by revolutionaries for revolutionaries, grounded in Fourth Internationalist tradition but speaking Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
