Publisher's Synopsis
First published in English in 1913, this book is a record of the early arguments and theories of revolutionary socialism. The authors consider the problems of how to overthrow established order and how to replace it, exploring the issues which this debate throws up such as the use of arms and the "freeing of woman". They look at key questions: will the state be centralized on behalf of the people? Will order be organized around the trade unions? Should the state be arranged into hierarchical governments, or should government be abolished altogether? Patuad and Pouget discuss and answer these questions - which became particularly important in the years of revolution immediately following the original publication of this work.
