Download or read book An Unfinished Revolution written by Robin Blackburn and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2011-05-16 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Marx and Abraham Lincoln exchanged letters at the end of the Civil War. Although they were divided by far more than the Atlantic Ocean, they agreed on the cause of "free labor" and the urgent need to end slavery. In his introduction, Robin Blackburn argues that Lincoln's response signaled the importance of the German American community and the role of the international communists in opposing European recognition of the Confederacy. The ideals of communism, voiced through the International Working Men's Association, attracted many thousands of supporters throughout the US, and helped spread the demand for an eight-hour day. Blackburn shows how the IWA in America-born out of the Civil War-sought to radicalize Lincoln's unfinished revolution and to advance the rights of labor, uniting black and white, men and women, native and foreign-born. The International contributed to a profound critique of the capitalist robber barons who enriched themselves during and after the war, and it inspired an extraordinary series of strikes and class struggles in the postwar decades. In addition to a range of key texts and letters by both Lincoln and Marx, this book includes articles from the radical New York-based journal Woodhull and Claflin's Weekly, an extract from Thomas Fortune's classic work on racism Black and White, Frederick Engels on the progress of US labor in the 1880s, and Lucy Parson's speech at the founding of the Industrial Workers of the World.

Download or read book Lincoln Marx and the GOP written by Walter Donald Kennedy and published by Shotwell Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2023-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WARNING: Shocking Information While most Americans view Abraham Lincoln as a near god, there is a side of Mr. Lincoln and the Republican Party that has gone unspoken, until now. For example: Lincoln was the first U. S. President to have a communist in his cabinet and receive complimentary communications from Karl Marx. Even Adolf Hitler and a Communist Chinese Military spokesman have offered praise for Lincoln's effort in subjugating the South. The growth of the GOP was enhanced by many Marxists and socialists. Radical socialist and Marxists played a key role in the GOP's nomination and election of Lincoln. When Lincoln determined to invade the South, communists and radical socialists quickly joined the Union Army. Several close friends of Karl Marx became general officers in Lincoln's Army. Why did these radical socialists and Marxist feel a kinship with Abraham Lincoln, the GOP, and the desire for the destruction of an independent South? Communists finding Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party objects worthy of their zeal and efforts speaks volumes as to why post-Appomattox America has adopted most if not all the early American socialist/ communist goals. The South had no such friends. The Republican Party and the North should be embarrassed at having socialists and communists as friends and allies.

Download or read book Red Republicans and Lincoln s Marxists written by Walter D. Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Abraham Lincoln influenced by communism when the Union condemned the rights of Southern states to express their independence? It's shocking to think so. But that's precisely what Walter D. Kennedy and Al Benson Jr. assert in Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists. The pair completely reassess this tumultuous time in American history, exposing the "politically correct" view of the War for Southern Independence as nothing less than the same observation announced by Marx himself. During the American Civil War, Marx wrote about his support of the Union Army, the Republican Party, and Lincoln himself. In fact, he named the president as "the single-minded son of the working class." In addition to shedding light on this little-known part of our history, Kennedy and Benson also ask pertinent questions about the validity of today's federal government and why its role seems so much larger than the liberty found in the states it represents. Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists is a bold undertaking, but it's one that needs our immediate and absolute attention.

Download or read book Little Sermons In Socialism by Abraham Lincoln written by Burke McCarty and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people will be surprised to learn of Abraham Lincoln's socialist leanings. This is because of the deification of Lincoln and the fact the victors always write the history books. This small pamphlet was first printed by the communist party in Chicago and they were great admirers of the so-called "Great Emancipator" and made no secret of it. Abraham Lincoln not only had a favorable opinion of Karl Marx and his writings, but was at times sympathetic to socialist policies and ideas. The sixteenth president of the United States was an avid reader of the father of Marxism and corresponded with him during the War Between the States. This edition includes a great foreword by Dr. Boyd D. Cathey which really puts the issues in perspective and offers more evidence of Lincoln's feelings and his association with the leading communists and socialists of the day. Was Lincoln a socialist? You decide.

This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe and Homer Chase were brought up on a working farm in Washington, New Hampshire. They learned sophisticated lessons of politics and economics at their parents' knees. Each spent his life fighting for the working class. Joe, the elder brother, fought on the European front in World War II against the fascist threat. At home, he worked in union jobs in the Boston area exposing the evils of the Smith and Taft-Hartley Acts while attending to his duties as a representative of his fellow workers in the Railroad Brotherhoods. Homer, Joe's younger brother, fought against Fascism by joining the Abraham Lincoln Brigade to fight in the Spanish Civil War during the 1930s. He fought Hitler's regime again in World War II as a paratrooper with the 17th Airborne. After his return from the battlefields of Europe, Homer continued his work for social justice - for the Afro-Americans' right to vote and for workers' rights to unionize in the South in the 1940s and early1950s, and later in the North.

This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the 'third party' movements in American history, none have been as controversial as the Communist Party of the United States of America. Although denounced as a tool of the Soviet Union, accused of espionage and charged with advocating the revolutionary overthrow of the American government, before WWII it had been an accepted part of the political landscape. This collection offers an intriguing insight into this controversial political party in light of the Moscow archives that were made accessible after the end of the Cold War. This collection of original essays explores new aspects in the history of American Communism, drawing on a range of documents from Moscow and Eastern Europe. Examining traditional subjects in the light of new evidence, the essays cover a range of topics including party leaders, espionage, campaigns against racism, the Spanish Civil War, communism and gender, the fate of members after the McCarthy era and ways in which Communists became Anti-Communists.
