Great Revolutionaries

£10.00

An introduction to the thoughts of six great revolutionaries: Marx & Engels, Lenin & Trotsky, Babeuf & Luxemburg. Their history is told through a compilation of twelve articles written by Peter Taaffe. The book explains how the thoughts of these great revolutionaries can be applied to today’s world.

In today’s era of crumbling capitalism – of global instability, climate catastrophe, inequality, oppression and war – revolutionary ideas that can help to change the world are needed more than ever and explains how they sought to apply their ideas in action:

● Marx & Engels, the founders of ‘scientific socialism’

● Lenin & Trotsky, the leaders of the 1917 Russian Revolution

● Babeuf & Luxemburg, both killed for their socialist ideals

Their history is told through a compilation of twelve articles written by Peter Taaffe, who devoted his life to helping build struggle, in Britain and globally, first as editor of the Militant newspaper, then as general secretary of the Socialist Party. Above all, this book explains how the thoughts of these great revolutionaries can be applied to today’s world – in order to change it for the better.
