Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the Communist Party of Australia has been told in various ways. Until now, however, archival collections that have borne on this story have been relatively inaccessible to the ordinary, interested reader. This book begins to redress that deficiency by bringing together 85 key documents from the Russian State Archives of Social and Political History (RGASPI), selected from a collection of thousands of documents concerning the relations between the Communist International and the Communist Party of Australia. The selection focuses on the relationship between the CPA and the Comintern because the activities of the CPA are essentially incomprehensible without understanding the international communist context within which the CPA operated. That context was dominated by the newly-created Soviet state and its decision to authorize and utilize a network of communist parties throughout the world.

Book excerpt: How are the mighty fallen. At the end of World War II, the Communist Party was a major force in Australian working class life. Yet by the 1980s it had diminished to a demoralised rump. And today it's only a memory. Did the party deserve this fate? Its courage and hard work brought together thousands of working class fighters. It led them in important struggles. But then it inflicted on them the bitterest of disappointments.Into the Mainstream traces the party's decline from an influential movement, plagued by its bureaucratic Stalinist politics, to a shrinking organisation trying desperately to re-invent itself as a radical force, but finally drifting into the political mainstream. The story is set against such historic events as the Cold War, the Sino-Soviet split, and the social radicalisation of the late sixties. It offers lessons for revolutionary activists today
Download or read book The Reds written by Stuart Macintyre and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only large-scale comprehensive account of an intriguing part of Australia's past. In 1920, 26 men and women met in a dingy hall in Sydney to create a new political party. They expected the overthrow of capitalism and the emancipation of humanity - here, and all around the world. Two decades later, when Australia joined the Second World War, the Commonwealth government suppressed the Communist Party of Australia. The handful of idealists and dissidents had become a political force powerful enough, in the view of the authorities, to pose a threat to national security. The Communist Party was a major part of Australia's political landscape for more than half a century. It came to control many of the country's largest trade unions. Through its supporters, the Party influenced social movements and much of Australia's cultural life. It became the target of sustained surveillance and penetration by state police and federal security agencies. It retains the attention of many despite the revelations of the post-Cold War era. Full of fascinating characters and incidents, Stuart Macintyre's history is the first comprehensive account of Australian communism. 'This is a masterful book.' - Tom Sheridan, Academy of Social Sciences Newsletter 'This fascinating remembrance of the first two decades of the Communist Party of Australia. [is] both erudite. [and] infused with moral vision. a combination of courage, impeccable judgement and assiduous research.' - Ross Fitzgerald, Australian Book Review
Download or read book The Party written by Stuart Macintyre and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long awaited second volume in Stuart Macintyre's definitive history of the Communist Party of Australia. Communism was unlike any other political movement Australia has ever seen. At its peak in the 1940s, unions led by communists could call a strike that paralysed the nation, and communists influenced the highest level of government, and commanded the unswerving loyalty of thousands. It showed working men and women they could have a better life, and gave them the tools to achieve it. Stuart Macintyre reveals how sources of strength in the party's heyday became the undoing of the party over the following two decades. Unconditional support for the Soviet model broke down as the horrors of Stalinism were revealed. Public support for the party eroded during a series of strikes, and hostility from mainstream politics and security services took a toll. But for those who remained, the comradeship and intense political engagement are the strongest memories. The Party is the second volume of Stuart Macintyre's masterful history of Australian communism. 'Rich and compelling stories of activists, idealists, militants, internationalists and anti-racists who believed they were on the side of history - until they weren't.' - Judith Brett, Emeritus Professor of Politics at La Trobe University 'Stuart Macintyre is the great historian of post-war Australia - and this book is no exception. Macintyre's attention to detail is coupled with a lively writing style that holds the reader's attention.' - Hon Tanya Plibersek MP, Member for Sydney
