Mit Der Solidarismus. Natürliche wirtschaftliche Erlösung des Menschen. legte Rudolf Diesel – bekannt als Erfinder des Dieselmotors – eine überraschend sozialphilosophische Schrift vor. Darin skizziert er seine Idee einer solidarischen Wirtschaftsordnung, die auf Gerechtigkeit, Gemeinwohl und gegenseitiger Unterstützung basiert. Diesel kritisiert die Auswüchse des Kapitalismus und schlägt stattdessen eine Volkskasse und solidarische Produktionsgemeinschaften vor.

Este nuevo libro de Pío Moa expone con rigor historiográfico y agilidad periodística la apasionante evolución de un partido, cambiante como también lo ha sido, a veces traumáticamente, la historia del país en los ciento cuarenta años largos de existencia del PSOE. Salvo en la etapa franquista, el PSOE es el partido que más ha influido en la historia de España desde 1917 hasta la actualidad, y de modo determinante en dos periodos cruciales: la II República y la democracia actual desde su triunfal acceso al poder en 1982.

Updated with a fresh design and a new foreword by Chomsky, On Western Terrorism stands as an influential and powerful critique of the West's role in the world, inspiring all who read it to think independently and critically.

The Russian Revolution may well be the most misunderstood event in modern history. In this fast-paced introduction, Neil Faulkner debunks the myths that continue to shroud it, showing how a mass movement of millions, organised in democratic assemblies, mobilised for militant action and destroyed a regime of landlords, profiteers and warmongers.

On the 27th August, 1963, the day before Martin Luther King electrified the world from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with the immortal words, 'I Have a Dream', the life of another giant of the Civil Rights movement quietly drew to a close in Accra, Ghana: W.E.B. DuBois. In this new biography, Bill V. Mullen interprets the seismic political developments of the Twentieth Century through Du Bois’s revolutionary life.

First published in 1848, The Communist Manifesto is one of the most influential political and philosophical texts in modern history. Written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it presents a materialist analysis of society, examining class struggle, capitalism, and the historical forces shaping economic and social relations.

1834 veröffentlicht, prangert Georg Büchner darin mit scharfer Feder die sozialen Missstände seiner Zeit an – ein mutiges, eindringliches Plädoyer für Gerechtigkeit und Menschenwürde. Büchner analysiert die Kluft zwischen arm und reich, kritisiert die Unterdrückung der Landbevölkerung und ruft zum Widerstand auf. Trotz der Kürze ist der Text von immenser politischer Sprengkraft – und hat bis heute an Relevanz nichts verloren.

Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels formulierten im Jahr 1848 mit dem Kommunistischen Manifest eine radikale Analyse des Kapitalismus und seiner Widersprüche – verbunden mit dem Aufruf zur politischen Aktion. Auch heute noch polarisiert, provoziert und inspiriert das Werk – ein Text, der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart verbindet. Ein Klassiker der politischen Theorie – wortgewaltig, analytisch & historisch bedeutsam.

From the acclaimed author of Mao’s America comes the untold story of how misguided and selfish U.S. elites transformed China from a Communist wasteland into a global superpower—at America’s expense. One of the most effective anti-communist voices in America today, Xi Van Fleet made waves...

Two world-renowned figures of contemporary politics come together to debate alternatives for the future: José "Pepe" Mujica, former President of Uruguay and an ex-guerrilla who acquired an international following for his message of sustainability and common sense, and Noam Chomsky, who revolutionized linguistics and has become a beacon for radical thinking around the world.

Are we living through the end of the democratic moment? While democracy once seemed the bedrock of Western societies, the past few decades have revealed a fragile reality. Once liberal countries are turning to authoritarianism, wealthy individuals and corporations are interfering with elections evermore flagrantly, and faith in democracy has plummeted among every demographic. What happened? From gerrymandering and partisanship to corporate interference and tainted donations, A. C. Grayling reveals the forces undermining our democratic ideals and offers bold solutions.

In einer Zeit, in der politische Lagerbildung die Regel ist, zeigt Volker Wissing in diesem Hörbuch, wie eine erfolgreiche demokratische Debattenkultur aussehen müsste – und wie weit wir derzeit davon entfernt sind. Wissing berichtet aus den Schaltzentralen in Berlin und zeichnet ein Bild tiefer Zerwürfnisse und politischer Grabenkämpfe, aber auch von demokratischer Haltung, wenn es wirklich zählt. Denn Verantwortung zu übernehmen heißt konstruktive Politik für Menschen zu machen statt sich in Lagerkämpfen zu verlieren.

Le monde occidental se fracture devant nous : la faille atlantique, diagnostiquée au début des années 2000, s'est muée en une fracture insurmontable entre deux blocs antagonistes. Tout comme il y a eu deux Allemagnes, il semble bien qu'il y aura deux Occidents : l'Amérique trumpienne d'un côté et l'Europe progressiste de l'autre. Cet essai saisit ce basculement historique : l'évolution des droites occidentales, l'essor du libertarianisme, la réaction européenne face au trumpisme et ses propres dérives.

Nicholas Potter dokumentiert und analysiert ein erschreckendes Phänomen: die neue autoritäre Linke. Sie gibt sich progressiv, tritt aber seit dem Angriff der Hamas auf Israel zunehmend demokratiefeindlich auf. Der Nahostkonflikt wird dabei zum Vietnam der Gen Z – ein Moment politischen Erwachens. Mit dogmatischem Eifer deutet sie radikalislamistische terroristische Gewalt zum dekolonialen Widerstand um.

In this urgent and eye-opening book, journalist Jan Jekielek distills decades of investigations from reputable sources, combined with his own research and in-depth firsthand insight, into a compelling case for rethinking our approach to the CCP. Through the lens of grave human rights abuses—most disturbingly, the state-sanctioned harvesting of organs from prisoners of conscience—Jekielek exposes the inner workings of a regime built on deception, coercion, and control.

Critical theory was born over a century ago. Created to foster social transformation, this emerging theory would soon influence universities, politics, and pop culture across the globe and spark tense debates between groups across the sociopolitical spectrum. But what exactly lies at the heart of critical theory, and how should Christians engage with this controversial perspective? To answer these questions, we must examine the history, philosophy, and ideas of the thinkers who shaped its development.

더 강력한 대격변이 시작됐다 2020년 코로나 19라는 초유의 사태로, 일찍이 경험해 보지 못한 일들이 잇달아 일어나고 있다. 모든 것이 그 이전과는 다른, 우리가 경험해보지 못한 '달라진 세계'에 대한 전망과 담론장이...

“A Maior das Lições–Memórias do Comunismo Soviético” conta a história real de João Cisman, um brasileiro que se mudou com a família para a URSS no começo da década de 1960 para viver na terra onde nasceram seus pais e irmãos mais velhos. Lá, conheceu a realidade imposta aos cidadãos comuns do sistema, muito diferente daquela que havia experimentado meses antes, enquanto membro de uma comitiva de sindicalistas brasileiros simpáticos ao regime comunista.

Six months ago, I had never heard the name Eugene Debs. Today, I believe he is one of the greatest orators in history, ranking alongside Napoleon, Robespierre, Lincoln, and Cicero. More importantly, he was a genuine hero, a man to believe in and follow into the fires of hell. His legacy has been unrightly ignored by the same powers that imprisoned and harassed him over his life. He should be an icon, but is unremembered, for reasons he himself goes into. 

The birth of liberation movements in the C19th saw a rise in fighting for the rights of workers. William Morris believed decries the belief “not that Commerce was made for man, but that man was made for Commerce”, with the profit motive that renders all work miserable when “It is right and necessary that all men should have work to do which shall be worth doing, and be of itself pleasant to do; and which should be done under such conditions as would make it neither over-wearisome nor over-anxious.”
