Paperback. Condition: Good. First Edition. 12mo, 176 pages, printed grey wrappers chipped, spine worn, repairs with archival tape. Trotsky's original title for thiw work was "Terrorism and Communism", but the publisher's have use this new title to avoid confusion with Karl Kautsky's book, TERRORISM AND COMMUNISM. "The monstrous assertions of Kaustky to the effect that the Russian workers were incapable of labor discipline and economic self-control could, at the beginning of this work, nearly a year ago, be combated chiefly by pointing to the high state of discipline and heroism in battle of the Russian workers at the front created by the civil war. That experience was more than enough to explode these bourgeois slanders. . The problem is to make a civil war a short one; and this is attained only by resoluteness in action." - Introduction.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a heated debate surrounding the 1917 Russian Revolution and its aftermath, specifically focusing on the controversial concept of the "dictatorship of the proletariat." The author challenges the views of Karl Kautsky, a prominent socialist thinker who criticized the Bolsheviks' approach to revolution. Set against the backdrop of a world grappling with the aftermath of World War I and the rise of communism, this book explores the complexities of revolutionary change, questioning the efficacy of traditional democratic principles in times of societal upheaval. The author argues that the established power structures of capitalist societies often hinder genuine progress and that seizing political power through a "dictatorship of the proletariat" may be necessary to achieve true socialist transformation. The text delves into the theoretical underpinnings of this concept, examining the role of class struggle, the balance of power, and the use of force in revolutionary contexts. The author contends that the Bolsheviks' actions in Russia, though harsh, were justified by the need to defend the revolution from counter-revolutionary forces and to pave the way for a more equitable society. This book's exploration of revolutionary theory and practice offers valuable insights into the challenges and complexities of societal transformation, prompting readers to reconsider conventional notions of democracy and its limitations in achieving radical change.
