Marx: Herr Vogt. 1860. $13. Cover. This 384 page book
"is an answer to the slanders against himself, Engels
and their supporters which appeared in Karl Vogt’s 1859
pamphlet, Mein Prozess gegen die Allgemeine Zeitung.
He knew before its publication that many ‘clever men’
would be ‘completely unable to grasp how I could
squander my time on refuting such infantile nonsense’. What the clever men and their successors over the years could not or would not understand is that for Marx in 1860, as for Marxists today, the defence and security of the revolutionary party was of paramount concern" (quoted from Marxists.org). This book was recommended by a reader. I have not yet read the whole work, but when I do I will replace the quote from Marxists.org with my own comment. |

| The History of the USSR and the
Peoples' Democracies, by Saed Teymuri, without
notes. Cover. 2023. This book is
so large, over 1,150 pages, in size 8.5 x 11, that it
had to be printed in 5 parts. The notes added another
3,000 pages, mostly screenshots, and can only be put on
the internet. Although it is recommended to only
download it from the internet, it can be purchased for
$18 per volume, or $62 for all 5 volumes. Contents. Part 1. Part 2. Part 3. Part 4. Part 5. Notes. This work includes an immense amount of material, including information from the CIA and other intelligence agencies when they are favorable to the Soviet Union. It also gives good material on art and architecture during the Stalin period. It also supports the Soviet position against "sodomy," which may seem incorrect in today's world. The conclusions should not all be taken at face value, without considering whether the facts back them up. For example, he author considers most of those who ever played a negative role to be an agent, whether of U.S., British, Israeli or Nazi intelligence, and in doing so does not explain the need for an ideological fight against revisionism. This is not a dialectical view. He also takes a liberal view of ruling class forces, such as Roosevelt, who were in favor of an alliance with the Soviet Union. He stated: "the Roosevelt faction in the United States, the agents of the proletariat disguised as ‘American imperialist’ ‘liberals’, sympathized with the Soviet Union." While he strongly opposes Khrushchev and Tito, he argues that Brezhnev was an improvement. He connects this with praise of Kennedy, saying: "by 1962, the Kennedy Administration successfully curbed CIA influence worldwide, thereby giving the Khrushchev group less lobbying power in the struggle against the communist faction." Not having read the whole book, I cannot say what further errors it contains. I just warn the reader to treat this work with caution. |

Osborn, Freud and Marx, 1937. Internet only.
A serious attempt to combine the views of Freud and
Marx. The author wishes to use Freud's view of the
subconscious to uncover the ideas that people are not
even aware of that may be holding them back from
socialism. Although this may be worthwhile, the author
also brings in other constructs of Freud, includiing the
ego, Oedipus complex, etc. The interested reader should
make up his/her own mind on this. |

| Juan Antonio Corretjer: El Líder de la Desperación, 1972. En español. (P) $4. Portada | |
| Below are selected items from
the Bolshevik League of the U.S. and International
Correspondence. These groups, who considered
themselves part of a "Bolshevik Trend," made numerous
ultra-"left" errors (including considering everyone
after Stalin as revisionist or centrist, criticizing the
Party of Labor of Albania and parties that supported it
as "centrist"), and then "corrected" them by making
right-opportunist errors. After a few years, this Trend
fell apart. At the same time, they made some correct
criticism of many of the parties calling themselves ML
as sectarian, etc. They also had a basically correct
position on the Black National Question in the U.S. |
|
| The Bolshevik
League, "Left" in Form, Right in Essence. Cover. $6. The
particularities of this criticism, written by a couple
of former members of the League, were basically correct,
though they did not get at the essence of the problems
of the Trend, and also did not recognize that their
support for what they called Lenin's "Iskra Principle"
did not really distinguish itself from what they
considered "Maoist pre-Party formations." |
|
| The Communist
International in America. Documents 1925-33. Cover. $13, 336 pages. The
introduction, by the Bolshevik League, contains the
usual "left" errors of this trend. However, the rest of
the book is a very valuable collection of documents,
from the Communist International magazine and Imprecorr
(International Press Correspondence) of the
Comintern on the CPUSA. |

Browderism and the CPUSA, and Some Problems

errors that later affected the CPUSA. |
|
| The Defeat of Fascism, by
Alan R. Stover. Cover. $5.
80 pages. This pamphlet is overall an excellent
criticism of those who opposed Soviet policies before
and during WWII. However, in the Reply to the Discussion

again show up. |
