Sinopsis

In "Socialism and Syndicalism," Philip Snowden offers a profound examination of the political ideologies emerging from the industrial age, framing socialism and syndicalism as responses to the socio-economic conditions of the early 20th century. Written in a clear and engaging style, the book navigates the complexities of labor movements, critiquing both the capitalist framework and the shortcomings of existing Marxist institutions. Snowden's analysis draws on a rich tapestry of historical events and theoretical perspectives, positioning his arguments within the broader context of class struggle and workers' rights, while articulating a vision for collective action and societal transformation. Philip Snowden, a prominent British socialist and influential politician, was deeply embedded in the labor movement of his time, serving as a Member of Parliament and later as the first Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer. His personal experiences with socioeconomic injustices and firsthand involvement in labor activism significantly influenced his political outlook. Snowden's commitment to social justice and reform is palpable throughout the book, as he advocates for a revolutionary approach to labor rights, rooted in the principles of solidarity and self-management. This work is essential reading for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in the roots of modern socialism and labor rights. Snowden's incisive thought offers not only a historical perspective but also a call to action, urging contemporary readers to engage with the ideals of collective empowerment and to envision a more equitable future. Whether you're a seasoned political scholar or a newcomer to these concepts, "Socialism and Syndicalism" provides valuable insights into the enduring struggle for justice.

    Israel’s military industrial complex uses the occupied, Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that they then export around the world to despots and democracies. For more than 50 years, occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has given the Israeli state invaluable experience in controlling an “enemy” population, the Palestinians. It’s here that they have perfected the architecture of control. 
     
    Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein, author of Disaster Capitalism, uncovers this largely hidden world in a global investigation with secret documents, revealing interviews and on-the-ground reporting. This book shows in-depth, for the first time, how Palestine has become the perfect laboratory for the Israeli military-techno complex: surveillance, home demolitions, indefinite incarceration and brutality to the hi-tech tools that drive the 'Start-up Nation'. From the Pegasus software that hacked Jeff Bezos' and Jamal Khashoggi’s phones, the weapons sold to the Myanmar army that has murdered thousands of Rohingyas and drones used by the European Union to monitor refugees in the Mediterranean who are left to drown.  
    Israel has become a global leader in spying technology and defence hardware that fuels the globe’s most brutal conflicts. As ethno-nationalism grows in the 21st century, Israel has built the ultimate model. 
    “A sad and sordid record of how "the light unto the nations" became the purveyor of the means of violence and brutal repression from Guatemala to Myanmar and wherever else the opportunity arose.” - Noam Chomsky 
    “A sharp exposé of how Israel's suppression of Palestine has translated into lucrative anti-terrorist systems that the Israeli government exports globally...[An] eye-opening delineation of the alarming ramifications of Israel's status as an 'ethnonationalist state.” - Kirkus Reviews

    Experience one of history’s most influential political texts in its definitive English edition. 
    This audiobook presents the authorized 1888 English translation of The Communist Manifesto, rendered by Samuel Moore and personally approved by Friedrich Engels. Originally published in 1848 during a time of revolutionary upheaval across Europe, The Communist Manifesto (Manifesto of the Communist Party) was written by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels for the Communist League. 
    A cornerstone of modern political thought, this powerful work offers a compelling analysis of class struggle, economic systems, and the inevitable conflicts arising under capitalism. Rather than offering utopian speculation, Marx and Engels dissect the mechanisms of capitalist production and explain the material conditions that, they argue, will give rise to socialism and ultimately communism. 
    With its famous declaration that “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles,” this manifesto has echoed through generations—shaping ideologies, inspiring movements, and fueling debates across the globe. 
    Whether you're a student of history, politics, or philosophy—or simply curious about the roots of revolutionary theory—this essential classic continues to challenge, provoke, and inform.

    The subconscious mind is a powerful and often misunderstood component of our overall mental framework. It operates beneath the surface of our conscious awareness, influencing our emotions, behaviors, and perceptions in ways we rarely notice. This hidden realm of thought is not merely a repository of forgotten memories or repressed emotions, but rather a dynamic and active process that continuously shapes our daily experiences. From habits formed during childhood to deeply ingrained belief systems, the subconscious mind acts as an archive that stores our past experiences and serves as the engine behind our reactions and decision-making. Understanding its workings can unlock profound insights into why we behave the way we do, providing the keys to personal growth and transformation. 
    In exploring the subconscious mind, it is essential to consider both historical and modern scientific perspectives. Ancient philosophies and spiritual traditions have long acknowledged the power of the inner self, emphasizing techniques such as meditation, dream analysis, and ritual practices to access deeper layers of consciousness. In contrast, modern neuroscience and psychology have begun to uncover the biological underpinnings of subconscious processes, such as neural plasticity and the complex interplay between various brain regions. These scientific advancements have validated many traditional practices, demonstrating that our subconscious is not a mysterious, mystical force, but a tangible and influential part of our neurobiology. The integration of these views has fostered a comprehensive understanding of mental processes, blending empirical evidence with time-tested wisdom.

    A provocative new perspective on presidential power. 
     
     
     
    Border walls, school bathrooms, student loans, gun control, diversity, abortion, climate change—today, nothing seems out of reach for the president's pen. But after all the press releases, ceremonies, and speeches, shockingly little gets done. The American presidency promises to solve America's problems, but presidents' unilateral solutions are often weak, even empty. 
     
     
     
    Kenneth Lowande argues this is no accident. The US political system is not set up to allow presidents to solve major policy problems, yet it lays these problems at their doorstep, and there is no other elected official better positioned to attract attention by appearing to govern. Like any politician, presidents are strategic actors who seek symbolic wins. They pursue executive actions, even when they know that these will fail, because doing so allows them to put on a compelling show for key constituencies. But these empty presidential actions are not without their costs: they divert energy from effective government—and, over time, undermine public trust. Drawing on thousands of executive actions, news coverage, interviews, and presidential archives, False Front shows that the real root of presidential power is in what presidents can get away with not doing.
