Bøger af Abba Gordin

This is a new release of the original 1940 edition.

Communism Unmasked is a book written by Abba Gordin that provides an in-depth analysis and critique of the ideology of communism. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of communism, including its origins, its theoretical underpinnings, and its practical application in various countries throughout history.Gordin argues that communism is fundamentally flawed and that its promises of equality, justice, and prosperity are nothing more than empty rhetoric. He examines the failures of communist regimes in countries such as the Soviet Union, China, and Cuba, and shows how their policies led to widespread poverty, oppression, and human rights abuses.The book also explores the role of communism in the global political landscape, including its influence on the Cold War and its impact on international relations. Gordin argues that communism is a dangerous ideology that poses a threat to democracy and freedom, and that it must be opposed at all costs.Overall, Communism Unmasked is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of one of the most influential political ideologies of the 20th century. It provides a detailed examination of the flaws and failures of communism, and makes a compelling case for the importance of defending democracy and freedom against its dangerous influence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A revolutionary fairy tale for adults that makes sharpening your critique of capitalism fun.Why? follows the travels of a boy named Pochemu--"Why" in Russian--as he tries to understand the Tsar's empire, capitalism, state violence, and more. The answers his rapid-fire questions elicit, which make less and less sense the deeper he probes, are just as ridiculous today as they were a century ago, and just as descriptive of a society gone wrong. When Pochemu eventually enters the Land of Anarchy, he is confronted by his own strangeness to its citizens, who study the bizarre customs he brings to their free society. This is a timeless tale of the ludicrousness of power and its deluded defenders.In this fable, a child's innocent questions meet the lies used to justify a world of cruelty and inequality. The result is quasi-absurdist, political comedy. Abba and Wolf Gordin, Jewish anarchists in the Russian Revolution, wrote proletarian literature to enlighten and entertain. It's a genre that no longer really exists, but given this delightful book, maybe it should.
