Why did communism grow so quickly? Why did it spread to turn
almost half of the world red by the mid-1970s? What impact did it
have upon capitalism and capitalist society?
"Communism" is a concise introduction to one of the most
important and influential movements of the 20th century. It shows
how the modern communist movement emerged out of radical
millenarian movements of the Middle Ages and the English Civil War,
becoming a mass movement of industrial society, seeking to overturn
capitalism and replace it with a society of equality, justice,
harmony and co-operation. It traces the growth of modern communism
from its beginnings in the early nineteenth century to its position
of global power at the end of the Second World War.
Mark Sandle investigates the ultimate failure of communism as a
political ideology, and concludes by asking how far the historical
record of communism has been used to conceal the historical record
of capitalism.
Ideal for courses in both History and Politics.
