Что стало с Восточной Европой" — это подробное исследование изменений, которые произошли в бывших социалистических странах, Болгарии, Венгрии, Германии (бывшей ГДР), Польше, Румынии, Чехии и Словакии (бывшей Чехословакии), и сердцах людей, переживших революции 1989 года.

In his preface to this reissue of the 1990 book, Challenging the Boundaries of Reform, W. J. Conroy reflects on the recent legacy of Bernie Sanders, his agenda for America, and his appeal to young voters. His audiobook then looks back to identify Sanders’ experience in Burlington by examining several case studies that unfolded amid a conservative trend nationally, an unsympathetic state government, and a hostile city council.

Why is it so hard to talk about wokeness? According to Merriam-Webster, "woke" means "aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)," but it rarely seems that's all it means. If one asks the right, "woke" is a pejorative term for someone pushing identity-only politics. If one asks the left, it's a signifier one isn't a bigot. If one asks Peter Coffin, author of Less Sucks: Overpopulation, Eugenics, and Degrowth (and producer of the documentary of the same name), "wokeness" is an ideology used to obscure power and ...

Ernest Belfort Bax (1854-1926) was an English barrister, journalist, philosopher, rights advocate, and historian. In this essay, after dismissing St. Simonism, Fourierism, Owenism, and “Continental Nihilists”, Bax attempts to explain what modern socialism, taken broadly, really means. He outlines the three bases of modern socialism as the direction of industry by a democratic state instead of by private capitalists; as a universal Federal Republic to take the place of the present nationalist system; and in religion, a human ideal to take the place of theological cults.

“A Maior das Lições–Memórias do Comunismo Soviético” conta a história real de João Cisman, um brasileiro que se mudou com a família para a URSS no começo da década de 1960 para viver na terra onde nasceram seus pais e irmãos mais velhos. Lá, conheceu a realidade imposta aos cidadãos comuns do sistema, muito diferente daquela que havia experimentado meses antes, enquanto membro de uma comitiva de sindicalistas brasileiros simpáticos ao regime comunista.

When did you last visit Seattle? When did you last explore Pike Place Market or walk down Third Avenue? Did you feel safe? Did you witness someone shooting up drug into its veins? Did you observe faceless bodies sleeping on filthy sidewalks? The utopia Jenny Durkan, Peter Holmes, Lorena González, Lisa Herbold, Debora Juarez, Andrew J Lewis, Tammy J. Morales, Teresa Mosqueda, Alex Pederson and Kshama Sawant dreamed of is now a hellhole! A hellhole where aggravated assaults, homicides, drug and sex trafficking, and ODs are daily. What happened to you, Seattle? The Seattle the author felt in ...

The birth of liberation movements in the C19th saw a rise in fighting for the rights of workers. William Morris believed decries the belief “not that Commerce was made for man, but that man was made for Commerce”, with the profit motive that renders all work miserable when “It is right and necessary that all men should have work to do which shall be worth doing, and be of itself pleasant to do; and which should be done under such conditions as would make it neither over-wearisome nor over-anxious.”

Much has been written about the anatomy of revolution from Edmund Burke to Crane Brinton Crane, Franz Fanon, and contemporary theorists of revolution found in the modern academy. Yet what is missing is a dissection of the revolutionary minds that destroyed the old for the creation of a more harmful new. Revolutionary Monsters presents a collective biography of five modern-day revolutionaries who came into power calling for the liberation of the people only to end up killing millions of people in the name of revolution.

This is certainly the edition you want to get. It has the full text of the Manifesto as written and published in 1848, plus a brief modern commentary which can be used to demonstrate the failure of the Communist system. The original text is the classic that steered many hundreds of millions into Communist revolutions around the world. They have all failed or are in the process of failing. The ones which have not failed are slowly yielding to the reality that capitalism is the driver of innovation and prosperity.

¿Quién es Hugo Chávez: un combativo y avanzado líder político, artífice del "socialismo del siglo XXI", o un estereotipado aprendiz de dictador, populista y palabrero? ¿Qué es Venezuela: el laboratorio de la primera revolución del nuevo milenio o una nación que marcha, no sin resistencias civiles, hacia un duradero régimen autoritario?

O Marxismo Desmascarado reúne a transcrição das nove palestras ministradas, em 1952, por Ludwig von Mises na Biblioteca Pública de São Francisco. Em seu característico estilo didático e agradável, o autor refuta as ideias marxistas em seus aspectos históricos, econômicos, políticos e culturais. A crítica misesiana ressalta não apenas os problemas econômicos do marxismo, mas, também, discute outras questões correlatas a esta doutrina, como a negação do individualismo, o nacionalismo, o conflito de classes, a revolução violenta e a manipulação humana.

It is impossible to quantify the total number of deaths attributable to the policies of Stalin, but the ‘Excess Mortality’ (i.e., deaths over and above what would normally have been expected during the period in question) gives an approximate figure in excess of 40 million. However, this is only part of the story of the amount of misery inflicted by the Stalin regime through torture, deliberate starvation, neglect, separation from loved ones, cold and hypothermia (e.g. in the prisons of Siberia), which is unquantifiable and unimaginable.

The hot controversy over Bernie Sanders and AOC is testimony to the passion people have over the question of socialism or capitalism. In Capitalism Versus Socialism: What Does the Bible Have to Say?, Dr. Simpson demonstrates clearly that the Bible has something to say about the foundations of capitalist and socialist economic systems, even though it does not specifically prescribe either one. Get this book, and you can gain a clear and sound understanding of the differences between capitalism and socialism and how they square with the Bible.

The 1910 collection of essays outlining Emma Goldman's anarchist views on various topics, most notably the oppression of women and perceived shortcomings of first wave feminism. Also, her views on prisons, political violence, sexuality, religion, nationalism, and art theory. Anarchism and Other Essays provides a fascinating look into revolutionary issues at the turn of the century, offering a prophetic view of the social and economic future.

In this ground-breaking analysis, author James Kurth (a Harvard student of Samuel Huntington) explains that the roots of America's current foreign policy crisis lie in contradictions of an American empire which attempted to transform traditional American national interests promoted by Presidents like Teddy Roosevelt and FDR into a new American-led global order that has unsuccessfully attempted to promote supposedly universal, rather than uniquely American, ideals.

Flat, fertile, and fatally tempting to invaders, for centuries Ukraine was fought over by more powerful neighbours. Though its modern national movement dates back to the early nineteenth century, it did not win real independence until 1991. In 2014 mass demonstrations forced out a corrupt pro-Russian president. Russia responded by invading, first seizing Crimea and the eastern Donbass, and then in February 2022 marching on Kyiv. With Western help, Ukraine is fighting back. But in what form it will emerge from the war - the bloodiest in Europe since 1945 - remains to be seen.

La milenaria, compleja y convulsa historia de China, acaso uno de los procesos históricos más llamativos de todo el planeta, estudiada con precisión y detalle en un período que comprende desde las Guerras del Opio, a la lucha entre Mao Zedong y Chang Kai-Shek y la posterior proclamación del comunismo y el nacimiento de la nueva República Popular China.

At the start of the 20th century in China, the Hans were married in an elaborate ceremony before they were even born. While their future was arranged by their families, this couple had much to be grateful for. Not only did they come from similar backgrounds - and as such were recognized as a good match - they also had a shared passion in their deep love of ancient Chinese poetry. They went on to have nine children and chose colours portrayed in some of their favourite poems as nicknames for them - Red, Cyan, Orange, Yellow, Green, Ginger, Violet, Blue and Rainbow.
