Publisher's Synopsis
In speeches given over 40 years, a founder of the communist movement in the US explains the living legacy of the 1917 Russian Revolution; proletarian internationalism and the fight for power; Stalinism's rise and decline; the class-struggle road in the battle against national oppression and imperialist war; and the fight to transform the unions into instruments of revolutionary struggle."The greatest satisfaction a person can possibly have," Cannon tells young revolutionists, is to live "the life of a rebel against capitalism," the life of a proletarian revolutionist.
