Download or read book Hammer Sickle and Soil written by Jonathan Daly and published by Hoover Press. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hammer, Sickle, and Soil, Jonathan Daly tells the harrowing story of Stalin's transformation of millions of family farms throughout the USSR into 250,000 collective farms during the period from 1929 to 1933. History's biggest experiment in social engineering at the time and the first example of the complete conquest of the bulk of a population by its rulers, the policy was above all intended to bring to Russia Marx's promised bright future of socialism. In the process, however, it caused widespread peasant unrest, massive relocations, and ultimately led to millions dying in the famine of 1932–33. Drawing on scholarly studies and primary-source collections published since the opening of the Soviet archives three decades ago, now, for the first time, this volume offers an accessible and accurate narrative for the general reader. The book is illustrated with propaganda posters from the period that graphically portray the drama and trauma of the revolution in Soviet agriculture under Stalin. In chilling detail the author describes how the havoc and destruction wrought in the countryside sowed the seeds of destruction of the entire Soviet experiment.

Download or read book How to Philosophize with a Hammer and Sickle written by Jonas Ceika and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the creator of the Cuck Philosophy YouTube channel comes this timely and explosive re-evaluation of Marx and Nietzsche for the 21st-century left. Modernity has been defined by humanity's capacity for self-destruction. Over the last century, the means which threaten not only life's joy but its very existence have only multiplied. At the same time, as a new wave of nationalism and right-wing politics spreads across the world, fewer and fewer people are being convinced that socialism could improve their everyday lives, let alone save us from our own destruction. In this timely and explosive book, philosopher and YouTuber Jonas Čeika (aka Cuck Philosophy) re-invigorates socialism for the twenty-first century. Leaving behind its past associations with bureaucracy and state tyranny, and it's lifeless and drab theoretical accounts, Čeika instead uses the works of Marx and Nietzsche to reconnect socialism with its human element, presenting it as something not only affecting, but created by living, breathing, suffering human individuals. At a time when ecological collapse is hurtling towards us, and capitalism offers no solution except more growth and exploitation, How to Philosophise with a Hammer and Sickle shows us the way forward to a socialism grounded in human experience and accessible to all.

He recorded these impressions of Russia following a month long tour of that country 1927. From the Foreword: "The following letters were not written in Russia because outgoing mail from that country is opened and censored. I did not have the time to write letters that would run the risk of being destroyed, so I took random notes and carried a multitude of impressions in the back of my head until I was out of Russia. Many people are interested in Russia, and because of my extraordinary privilege of observation I believe it is my duty to pass on my experiences to our Purina Family and my interested friends." The author continues: "I know we were given privileges not allowed the ordinary traveler. We talked to the leaders from Stalin and Tchitcherin down! We interviewed church officials, educators, lawyers, managers of institutions and workers. We went through factories, hospitals, schools, merchandising establishments, museums and government offices." Sections include: First Impressions of Russia; Russia's Challenging Experiment; Can Russia Do Without God?; Bolshevism in Business; Birth, Marriage, Divorce, Death; The Last of the Romanoffs; A Close-Up of Some of the Communist Leaders and much more.Illustrated by photographs taken by the author.

Download or read book The Socialist Manifesto written by Bhaskar Sunkara and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of Jeremy Corbyn's left-led Labour Party and Bernie Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign revived a political idea many had thought dead. But what, exactly, is socialism? And what would a socialist system look like today? In The Socialist Manifesto, Bhaskar Sunkara, editor of Jacobin magazine, argues that socialism offers the means to achieve economic equality, and also to fight other forms of oppression, including racism and sexism. The ultimate goal is not Soviet-style planning, but to win rights to healthcare, education, and housing and to create new democratic institutions in workplaces and communities. The book both explores socialism's history and presents a realistic vision for its future. A primer on socialism for the 21st century, this is a book for anyone seeking an end to the vast inequities of our age.

Download or read book Hammer And Tickle written by Ben Lewis and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book that immerses the Cold War in the warm bath of nostalgia. Q: Why, despite all the shortages, was the toilet paper in East Germany always 2-ply? A: Because they had to send a copy of everything they did to Moscow. Communist jokes are the strangest, funniest, most enchanting and meaningful legacy of the 80 years of political experimentation in Russia and Eastern Europe, known as Communism. The valiant and sardonic citizens of the former Communist countries - surrounded by an invisible network of secret police, threatened with arrest, imprisonment and forced labour, confronted by an economic system that left shops empty, and bombarded with ludicrous state propaganda - turned joke-telling into an art form. They used jokes as a coded way of speaking the truth. HAMMER AND TICKLE takes us on a unique journey through the Communist era (1917-1989), and tells its real history through subversive jokes and joke-tellers, many of whom ended up in the gulags. It is also illustrated with a combination of rare and previously unpublished archive material, political cartoons, caricatures, photographs and state-sponsored propaganda. Humorous, culturally poignant and historically revealing, this is the story of a political system that was (almost) laughed out of existence.

Download or read book Caught Between Swastika Hammer Sickle written by Frank Spezzano and published by . This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tell me some more about your nice friends in the army. You always seem to have adventures. Graphic artist by profession and avid motorcycle enthusiast, young Hans Schaefer is conscripted into Hitler's war as a soldier in the Signal Corps. Thus the reluctant yet courageous soldier bears witness to the horrors of war on the infamous Eastern Front. An articulate opponent of Hitler and his Nazi regime, Hans is relentlessly torn between loyalty to his fellow soldiers as they fight for the Führer's megalomaniac ideas and his own conscience. As a soldier he suffers extreme hardships under the German command and later, as a prisoner of war, he is both victim of and eyewitness to the Red Army's particular brand of cruelty and punishment. Yet Hans is a survivor, living by his wits and by his art. Wily and talented, he draws portraits for both the Nazis and the Russians, gaining admiration and respect from high-ranking German officers and from his Russian enemies alike. Throughout, this tenacious man never loses his moral compass. He survives the Soviet labour camps to return safely home to his family in Kiel when war finally ends in 1945. Moving to Canada to make a fresh start in a new world, Hans lives to chronicle his harrowing adventures during some of the darkest and bloodiest years in Europe's history. The collaboration of Mr. Spezzano's writing and Hans Schaefer's war experiences has produced an epic account of a German soldier's flight from the pathological Nazi regime. This novel echoes the reservations of the many Germans who harboured conflicting loyalties during the ascendancy of the Third Reich. It's also a very human story about love and loss. A courageous masterpiece and a testament to one man's struggle to retain his dignity and individuality in a world torn apart by tyrants. Jack Baret Screenwriter
