Book Synopsis An Unfinished Revolution by : Abraham Lincoln
Download or read book An Unfinished Revolution written by Abraham Lincoln and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2011-05-16 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Marx and Abraham Lincoln exchanged letters at the end of the Civil War. Although they were divided by far more than the Atlantic Ocean, they agreed on the cause of “free labor” and the urgent need to end slavery. In his introduction, Robin Blackburn argues that Lincoln’s response signaled the importance of the German American community and the role of the international communists in opposing European recognition of the Confederacy. The ideals of communism, voiced through the International Working Men’s Association, attracted many thousands of supporters throughout the US, and helped spread the demand for an eight-hour day. Blackburn shows how the IWA in America—born out of the Civil War—sought to radicalize Lincoln’s unfinished revolution and to advance the rights of labor, uniting black and white, men and women, native and foreign-born. The International contributed to a profound critique of the capitalist robber barons who enriched themselves during and after the war, and it inspired an extraordinary series of strikes and class struggles in the postwar decades. In addition to a range of key texts and letters by both Lincoln and Marx, this book includes articles from the radical New York-based journal Woodhull and Claflin’s Weekly, an extract from Thomas Fortune’s classic work on racism Black and White, Frederick Engels on the progress of US labor in the 1880s, and Lucy Parson’s speech at the founding of the Industrial Workers of the World.

Book Synopsis Lincoln, Marx, and the GOP by : Walter Donald Kennedy
Download or read book Lincoln, Marx, and the GOP written by Walter Donald Kennedy and published by Shotwell Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2023-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WARNING: Shocking Information While most Americans view Abraham Lincoln as a near god, there is a side of Mr. Lincoln and the Republican Party that has gone unspoken, until now. For example: Lincoln was the first U. S. President to have a communist in his cabinet and receive complimentary communications from Karl Marx. Even Adolf Hitler and a Communist Chinese Military spokesman have offered praise for Lincoln's effort in subjugating the South. The growth of the GOP was enhanced by many Marxists and socialists. Radical socialist and Marxists played a key role in the GOP's nomination and election of Lincoln. When Lincoln determined to invade the South, communists and radical socialists quickly joined the Union Army. Several close friends of Karl Marx became general officers in Lincoln's Army. Why did these radical socialists and Marxist feel a kinship with Abraham Lincoln, the GOP, and the desire for the destruction of an independent South? Communists finding Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party objects worthy of their zeal and efforts speaks volumes as to why post-Appomattox America has adopted most if not all the early American socialist/ communist goals. The South had no such friends. The Republican Party and the North should be embarrassed at having socialists and communists as friends and allies.

Book Synopsis Little Sermons In Socialism by Abraham Lincoln by : Burke McCarty
Download or read book Little Sermons In Socialism by Abraham Lincoln written by Burke McCarty and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people will be surprised to learn of Abraham Lincoln's socialist leanings. This is because of the deification of Lincoln and the fact the victors always write the history books. This small pamphlet was first printed by the communist party in Chicago and they were great admirers of the so-called "Great Emancipator" and made no secret of it. Abraham Lincoln not only had a favorable opinion of Karl Marx and his writings, but was at times sympathetic to socialist policies and ideas. The sixteenth president of the United States was an avid reader of the father of Marxism and corresponded with him during the War Between the States. This edition includes a great foreword by Dr. Boyd D. Cathey which really puts the issues in perspective and offers more evidence of Lincoln's feelings and his association with the leading communists and socialists of the day. Was Lincoln a socialist? You decide.

Book Synopsis Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists by : Walter Donald Kennedy
Download or read book Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists written by Walter Donald Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Abraham Lincoln influenced by communism when the Union condemned the rights of Southern states to express their independence? It's shocking to think so. But that's precisely what Walter D. Kennedy and Al Benson Jr. assert in Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists. The pair completely reassess this tumultuous time in American history, exposing the "politically correct" view of the War for Southern Independence as nothing less than the same observation announced by Marx himself. During the American Civil War, Marx wrote about his support of the Union Army, the Republican Party, and Lincoln himself. In fact, he named the president as "the single-minded son of the working class." In addition to shedding light on this little-known part of our history, Kennedy and Benson also ask pertinent questions about the validity of today's federal government and why its role seems so much larger than the liberty found in the states it represents. Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists is a bold undertaking, but it's one that needs our immediate and absolute attention.
Download or read book Lincoln's Marxists written by Al Benson and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While not a Marxist, Abraham Lincoln was willing to do whatever it took to consolidate his power, and the power of the federal government, even if it meant starting a war. This book addresses the question: "Why did Karl Marx and other socialists find 'Mr. Lincoln's War' worthy of their support?"
Book Synopsis Crusade of the Left by : Robert Rosenstone
Download or read book Crusade of the Left written by Robert Rosenstone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1936 and 1938, some 3,000 young Americans sailed to France and crossed the Pyrenees to take part in the brutal civil war raging in Spain. Virtually all joined the International Brigades, formed under the auspices of the Soviet-led Comintern and largely directed by Communists. Yet a large number were not Communists; their activism was inspired by domestic and international crises of the 1930s, and colored by idealism.The men who went to Spain came out of a radical subculture that emerged from the Depression and the New Deal. Th is radicalism was a native plant, but it was nourished from abroad. In the thirties the menace of fascism seemed to be spreading like cancer across Europe, giving an international aspect to many domestic problems in the United States. To intellectuals, students, unionists, liberals, and leftists, the threat of fascism was so real that many came to believe that if it was not stopped in Spain, eventually they would have to take up arms against fascism at home.To understand the Americans who fought in the Spanish Civil War it is necessary to bury some of the shibboleths of cold war years. Dissidence in the United States occurs in response to perceptions of reality on this side of the Atlantic, not because of the wishes of men in the Soviet Union. Th e members of the Lincoln Battalion were genuine products of America, and their story is properly a page in American military and political history. From them, one can learn much about the world of the 1930s and perhaps even something about the potential of modern man for thought and action in time of crisis.
Book Synopsis Post-Cold War Revelations and the American Communist Party by : Vernon L. Pedersen
Download or read book Post-Cold War Revelations and the American Communist Party written by Vernon L. Pedersen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the 'third party' movements in American history, none have been as controversial as the Communist Party of the United States of America. Although denounced as a tool of the Soviet Union, accused of espionage and charged with advocating the revolutionary overthrow of the American government, before WWII it had been an accepted part of the political landscape. This collection offers an intriguing insight into this controversial political party in light of the Moscow archives that were made accessible after the end of the Cold War. This collection of original essays explores new aspects in the history of American Communism, drawing on a range of documents from Moscow and Eastern Europe. Examining traditional subjects in the light of new evidence, the essays cover a range of topics including party leaders, espionage, campaigns against racism, the Spanish Civil War, communism and gender, the fate of members after the McCarthy era and ways in which Communists became Anti-Communists.

Book Synopsis Comrades and Commissars by : Cecil D. Eby
Download or read book Comrades and Commissars written by Cecil D. Eby and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1936, Generalissimo Francisco Franco led a group of right-wing nationalists in a military attack on the Republican government of Spain&—the start of what would become the Spanish Civil War. Despite U.S. laws banning participation in foreign conflicts, American volunteers began pouring into Barcelona in January 1937. The most famous of these anti-Franco groups was the band of 2,800 American fighters who called themselves the Abraham Lincoln Battalion. In Comrades and Commissars, Cecil D. Eby pushes beyond the bias that has dominated study of the Lincoln Battalion and gets to the very heart of the American experience in Spain. Controversy has plagued the Lincoln Battalion from the very start. Were these men selfless defenders of liberty or un-American Communists? Eby has long been regarded as one of the few balanced interpreters of their history. His 1969 book, Between the Bullet and the Lie, won accolades for its rigorous and fair treatment of the Battalion. Comrades and Commissars builds upon that earlier study, incorporating a wealth of information collected over intervening decades. New oral histories, previously untranslated memoirs, and newly declassified official documents all lend even greater authority and perspective to Eby&’s account. Most significant is Eby&’s use of Lincoln Battalion archives sequestered in a Moscow storeroom for sixty years. These papers draw renewed focus on some of the most provocative questions surrounding the Battalion, including the extent to which Americans were persecuted&—and even executed&—by the brigade commissariat. The Americans who served in the Lincoln Battalion were neither mythic figures nor political abstractions. Poorly trained and equipped, they committed themselves to back-to-the-wall defense of the doomed Spanish Republic. In Comrades and Commissars, we at last have the authoritative account of their experiences.
Book Synopsis Two Communist Brothers from Washington, New Hampshire and their Fight Against Fascism by : Donald H. Forbes
Download or read book Two Communist Brothers from Washington, New Hampshire and their Fight Against Fascism written by Donald H. Forbes and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe and Homer Chase were brought up on a working farm in Washington, New Hampshire. They learned sophisticated lessons of politics and economics at their parents' knees. Each spent his life fighting for the working class. Joe, the elder brother, fought on the European front in World War II against the fascist threat. At home, he worked in union jobs in the Boston area exposing the evils of the Smith and Taft-Hartley Acts while attending to his duties as a representative of his fellow workers in the Railroad Brotherhoods. Homer, Joe's younger brother, fought against Fascism by joining the Abraham Lincoln Brigade to fight in the Spanish Civil War during the 1930s. He fought Hitler's regime again in World War II as a paratrooper with the 17th Airborne. After his return from the battlefields of Europe, Homer continued his work for social justice - for the Afro-Americans' right to vote and for workers' rights to unionize in the South in the 1940s and early1950s, and later in the North.
Book Synopsis The Lincoln Brigade by : William Loren Katz
Download or read book The Lincoln Brigade written by William Loren Katz and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE LINCOLN BRIGADE The day after Christmas in 1936, a group of ninety-six Americans sailed from New York to help Spain defend its democratic government against fascism. Ultimately, twenty-eight hundred United States volunteers reached Spain to become the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Few Lincolns had any military training. More than half were seriously wounded or died in battle. Most Lincolns were activists and idealists who had worked with and demonstrated for the homeless and unemployed during the Great Depression. They were poets and blue-collar workers, professors and students, seamen and journalists, lawyers and painters, Christians and Jews, blacks and whites. The Brigade was the first fully integrated United States army, and Oliver Law, an African American from Texas, was an early Lincoln commander. William Loren Katz and the late Marc Crawford twice traveled with the Brigade to Spain in the 1980s, interviewed surviving Lincolns on old battlefields, and obtained never-before-published documents and photographs for this book.
