Sinossi

In "Results and Prospects," Leon Trotsky presents a profound analysis of the Russian Revolution and the trajectory of socialism, articulated through a Marxist lens. This seminal work is characterized by Trotsky's vivid prose, theoretical rigor, and a sense of urgency that reflects the tumultuous period in which it was written. Published in 1906, the book examines the revolutionary potential of the proletariat, critiques both reformist and opportunist elements within the working-class movements, and postulates the necessity for a global revolution to realize socialist ideals. Through these explorations, Trotsky situates his writing within the broader context of early 20th-century Marxism, making it essential for understanding the ideological battles of the era. Trotsky, a key figure in the Bolshevik Revolution and a staunch advocate for permanent revolution, draws upon his personal experiences and radical political activity to inform his analysis. His intellectual journey, marked by his opposition to Stalin's bureaucratic regime, imbues "Results and Prospects" with a sense of urgency and conviction about revolutionary theory. Trotsky's unique perspective, shaped by his historical involvement in both theory and practice, enhances the text's authority and relevance. This book is highly recommended for those interested in revolutionary theory, political history, and the complexities of socialist thought. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Trotsky's insights illuminating as they grapple with the ongoing struggles for social justice and equality in contemporary society. "Results and Prospects" is not merely a historical account; it is a clarion call for continued revolutionary action.

The Gaslighting of America - How...

michael brooks

In the last decade we have witnessed an unprecedented assault on the American people. Having seemingly appeared out of the ether, it has destroyed industry, family values, marriage, family relations, work ethic, morality, education, health care, independent thought, and the very basis of reality itself- language and the definitions of words. Its reach is all encompassing, with no stone left unturned. The American people are lost in a thick, heavy haze, dazed and confused at the completely alien world around them. How did we get to this point? How did nobody see it coming? Who is responsible? 
“The Gaslighting of America” explores how the elite, the authorities, and the mainstream media have conspired to deceive the American people. Through the use of gaslighting, a psychological manipulation technique, they have created a false reality that serves their own interests, while undermining the very foundations of American society.

Why Everyone Hates White...

Kevin M. Schultz

If there's one thing most Americans can agree on, it's that everyone hates white liberals. Conservatives hate them for being culturally tolerant and threatening to usher in communism. Libertarians hate them for believing in the power of the state. Socialists hate them for serving as capitalism's beard. Even liberals hate liberals—either because they can't manage to overcome their own prejudices, or precisely because they're so self-hating. This is the starting point for Kevin M. Schultz's lively new history of white liberals in the United States. He efficiently lays out the array of objections to liberals—ineffective, spineless, judgmental, authoritarian, and more—in a historical frame that shows how protean the concept has been throughout the past hundred years. It turns out, he declares, that how you define a "white liberal" is less a reflection of reality and more a Rorschach test revealing your own anxieties. Sharply assessing how decades of attacks on liberals and liberalism have steadily hollowed out the center of American political life, Schultz also explains precisely what needs to be done to avoid digging ourselves even further into the hole of polarization. The ultimate goal, he argues, is to achieve political fragmentation that will fuel the rise of a true multiparty system, where ideology will matter more, not less.

America’s Disenfranchised - Why...

Desmond Meade

Voting is foundational in a democracy, yet over six million American citizens remain stripped of their ability to participate in elections. Once convicted of a felony, people who complete their sentences reenter society, but no longer with the civil rights they once had. They may return to school, secure employment to provide for their families, and become law-abiding, tax-paying citizens―sometimes for decades―and still be denied the voting rights afforded to every other citizen.Desmond Meade, director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition and a returning citizen himself, played an instrumental role in the landslide 2018 Amendment 4 victory in Florida, which used the ballot box to restore voting rights to 1.4 million Floridians with a previous felony conviction. Meade argues how, state by state, America can do better. His efforts in Florida present a compelling argument that creating access to democracy for those living on the fringes of society will create a more vibrant and robust democracy for all. He is the winner of the 2021 Brown Democracy Medal for his continuing work to restore voting rights and connect Americans along shared social values.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE THE - A...

Thomas E. Weaver

A timely look at how the Electoral College has changed US history and why it endures—told through the lenses of specific people who both influenced the process and were impacted by the results. 
 
 
 
"Over the years, no feature of the Constitution has attracted more criticism than that strange creature called the Electoral College. Thomas E. Weaver has made that history into a story with an intriguing cast of characters, some familiar, several new to me. If you want to know why it is so hard to do away with this long-standing anachronism, Weaver's story will help you understand." —JOSEPH J. ELLIS, Professor Emeritus of History, Mount Holyoke College, author of Pulitzer Prize–winning Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 
 
 
 
"Those who think that throwing stones at political institutions is the same as reasoned debate should take some lessons from this carefully researched book. With a cast of colorful characters in tow, Weaver examines the long-standing controversies surrounding the EC and sets out numerous proposals for reform, which range from outright abolition to removing the "plus two" clause. Weaver brings a wealth of historical research to the task, writing with authority and clarity." —Kirkus
