The Russian revolution in October 1917 gave the workers', soldiers'
and peasants' soviets full state power. It swept away the bourgeois
state. Subsequent successful seizures of power in the name of the
workers have involved either peasant armies led by working class
political nuclei or, disastrously, the occupation of countries by
the forces of the Russian workers' state.The bureaucratic leaders
of European workers thwarted the spread of the revolution. The
isolated Stalinist bureaucracy produced a consolatory myth: that
Russia did not need such foreign victories because it would achieve
'Socialism in one Country'.To defy this myth, this book brings
together documents by Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky illustrating
the real history of the strategy that won the Russian revolution
and can win future working class seizures of power. Inside, readers
will find Marx and Engels' "Address to the Communist League,"
Lenin's "April Theses" and "The Tasks of the Proletariat in the
Present Revolution," Trotsky's "The Character of the Russian
Revolution" and Mandel's "What is Trotskyism?"
