Download or read book James P Cannon and the Origins of the American Revolutionary Left 1890 1928 written by Bryan D. Palmer and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bryan D. Palmer's award-winning study of James P. Cannon's early years (1890-1928) details how the life of a Wobbly hobo agitator gave way to leadership in the emerging communist underground of the 1919 era. This historical drama unfolds alongside the life experiences of a native son of United States radicalism, the narrative moving from Rosedale, Kansas to Chicago, New York, and Moscow. Written with panache, Palmer's richly detailed book situates American communism's formative decade of the 1920s in the dynamics of a specific political and economic context. Our understanding of the indigenous currents of the American revolutionary left is widened, just as appreciation of the complex nature of its interaction with international forces is deepened.

Reminiscences of an Agitator With a Diagnosis and a Remedy for Present Economic Conditions. CHAPTER I. "Whom the Gods Wish to Destroy, they First Make Mad." Ten years ago, political conditions in Los Angeles were well nigh intolerable. One man, through the connivance of some and the pusillanimity of others, Lpractically ruled the city.p He was an absolute dictator. CJSTo man could be a candidate for public office, y in city or county, without his sanction, and when elected, no office-holder could appoint a deputy or assistant to the humblest position in his administration without the "o. k." of the dictator. A newspaper, more or less in league with this dictator and the principles he represented, ruthlessly maligned and berated any citizen who dared to question the motives or methods of this oligarchyind altogether the situation was, as already mentioned, intolerable. It was a veritable political reign of terror, and there seemed but little prospect of relief, until about nine years ago, Dr. John R. Haynesthe author of these reminiscences, ijid four other men met and organized the Direct Legislation League of Los Angeles. Here was the beginning of the work that has revolutionized the operation of politics in this State, and which bids fair to be a prime factor in doing for the nation what it has already done for the State. Intoxicated with power, filled with contempt for the people in regard to their political rights, never dreaming that their downfall was so near, looking upon Dr. Haynes as a dreamer, considering the author of these pages (if they ever thought of him at all) as absolutely beneath their notice politically, this almost impregnable coalition fell as so many have done before them, by underestimating the power and...

Book excerpt: Paper reprint. First published in hardcover in 1987, this volume comprises the best of Gibson's work throughout his 30 year career. 10.5x15 Callinicos (politics, U. of York, UK) traces the intellectual history of the movement, first examining its origins in Trotsky's own thought, and then exploring the crisis into which the Trotskyist Fourth International was thrown at the end of WWII, when its founder's predictions were apparently refuted by the strength and stability of both Western capitalism and Stalinism.

Download or read book Frank Little and the IWW written by Jane Little Botkin and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franklin Henry Little (1878–1917), an organizer for the Western Federation of Miners and the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), fought in some of the early twentieth century’s most contentious labor and free-speech struggles. Following his lynching in Butte, Montana, his life and legacy became shrouded in tragedy and family secrets. In Frank Little and the IWW, author Jane Little Botkin chronicles her great-granduncle’s fascinating life and reveals its connections to the history of American labor and the first Red Scare. Beginning with Little’s childhood in Missouri and territorial Oklahoma, Botkin recounts his evolution as a renowned organizer and agitator on behalf of workers in corporate agriculture, oil, logging, and mining. Frank Little traveled the West and Midwest to gather workers beneath the banner of the Wobblies (as IWW members were known), making soapbox speeches on city street corners, organizing strikes, and writing polemics against unfair labor practices. His brother and sister-in-law also joined the fight for labor, but it was Frank who led the charge—and who was regularly threatened, incarcerated, and assaulted for his efforts. In his final battles in Arizona and Montana, Botkin shows, Little and the IWW leadership faced their strongest opponent yet as powerful copper magnates countered union efforts with deep-laid networks of spies and gunmen, an antilabor press, and local vigilantes. For a time, Frank Little’s murder became a rallying cry for the IWW. But after the United States entered the Great War and Congress passed the Sedition Act (1918) to ensure support for the war effort, many politicians and corporations used the act to target labor “radicals,” squelch dissent, and inspire vigilantism. Like other wage-working families smeared with the traitor label, the Little family endured raids, arrests, and indictments in IWW trials. Having scoured the West for firsthand sources in family, library, and museum collections, Botkin melds the personal narrative of an American family with the story of the labor movements that once shook the nation to its core. In doing so, she throws into sharp relief the lingering consequences of political repression.
