Organisation and Revolution

The question of the revolutionary party has been one of the most contested debates of the 20th century - from the battle between the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks in the 1900s, through the struggle against fascism in the 1930s, to the radical upheavals of the late 1960s. It is a question which has come into focus once again, with the shifting of the British Labour Party, the decline of Socialist and Communist parties in Western Europe and the ousting of a succession of Stalinist regimes in the Soviet bloc. This book is a collection of essays about organizing the revolution written by some of the most important revolutionaries of modern times.
