Cromwell and Communism (1930) examines the English revolution
against the absolute monarchy of Charles I. It looks at the
economic and social conditions prevailing at the time, the first
beginnings of dissent and the religious and political aims of the
Parliamentarian side in the revolution and subsequent civil war.
The various sects are examined, including the Levellers and their
democratic, atheistic and communistic ideals.

This book presents three later works by the German
social-democratic thinker and politician Eduard Bernstein,
translated into English in full for the first time: Social
Democracy and International Politics: Social Democracy and the
European Question; League of Nations or League of States; and
International Law and International Politics: The Nature,
Questions, and Future of International Law. Written at the height
of WW1, they address the abrupt collapse of international socialist
cooperation after its outbreak, and outline a vision for peace in
Europe and beyond. Bernstein argues for an ethical, democratic
approach to international relations, governed by a corpus of
international law, and safeguarded by an international union
dedicated to preserving peoples' right to self-determination. He is
sceptical of the state-centrism of early-20th-century liberal
proposals for developing strong international institutions, while
also deeply critical of militarist and imperialist political
leaders and thinkers for preventing even these limited proposals
from being realised. Instead, in these works, Bernstein urges
social democrats to campaign for a system of international
economic, legal, and cultural relations that he calls the 'republic
of peoples', and he explores themes of patriotism, class struggle,
diplomacy, and free trade that still carry resonance today.

England revolted against absolute monarchy a century and a half
earlier than did France, under conditions very dissimilar from
those that marked the epoch of the great French Revolution.
Nevertheless, important resemblances may be detected between the
nature and the course of the two rebellions. Oliver Cromwell (25
April 1599 - 3 September 1658) was an English military and
political leader who overthrew the English monarchy and temporarily
turned England into a republican Commonwealth, and ruled England,
Scotland and Ireland. Eduard Bernstein (January 6, 1850 - December
18, 1932) was a German social democratic theoretician and
politician, a member of the SPD, and the founder of evolutionary
socialism and revisionism.
