THEIR MORALS AND OURS, INDEED!
more popagandistic than academic
Which Side Are You On? Claims to the moral high ground by ruling classes fill the pages of history through today. Their crimes against humanity are morally justified to the masses. This book delves into the class underpinnings of all moral function. Their Morals and Ours is a valuable help to thinking through what is morality, its roots and changes. Leon Trotsky, a great Marxist and John Dewey, a great liberal pragmatist debate these questions on the eve of World War II. Stalinism, wars, the ten commandments, strikes, taking of hostages, marriage relations, means and ends, and common sense are some of the subjects discussed. The morality of capitalism vs. the morality of the working-class struggle for liberation from capitalism are counterposed.
Whose Morality? In refuting these detractors, Trotsky explains that "morality more than any other form of ideology has a class character."Thus, it was "moral" according to U.S. rulers to use atomic bombs against Japanese cities when Japan had already sought to surrender in World War II and it's OK to threaten countries today with them. But it's "immoral" for North Korea or other countries to seek to develop atomic bombs to defend themselves. The imperialist "war on terrorism" is a current example.According to ruling class 'morality' it's perfectly moral for the Israeli rulers to murder Palestinian leaders and people as it occupies Palestine.It's OK for the U.S. and U.K rulers to murder Iraqis.But it's Not OK for the Palestinians or people of Iraq to defend themselves and seek to end occupation of their lands.

PRACTICAL PROBLEMS IN BUILDING A SOCIALIST SOCIETY
Particularly Tough to Read
"Not by politics alone!" It was first written for the millions of workers and young people who were inspired to join the heroic struggles to overthrow the Czarist social order in Russia and take first steps towards building a socialist society. Full of a wonderful sense of respect for each individual and the capacities of ordinary men and women to work together to overcome society's ills. Takes up the challenges of illiteracy; real education in sciences, art, literature; punctuality and accuracy in work; of overcoming alcoholism and superstition -- not as an individual escape or salvation but as necessary and possible steps to be tackled in forging a new society. A sample of the contents: "Vodka, the Church, and the Cinema," "Civility and Politeness as a Necessary Lubricant in Daily Relations," "The Newspaper and Its Readers," "Leninism and Library Work," "Radio, Science, Technology and Society," "Young People, Study Politics!" Don't miss it!
cleaning the filth of capitalism out of our pores
Very superb compilation. In this particular work, Trotsky describes a large spectrum of subjects that people in his position(arguably one of the most powerful politicians of the twentieth century), would have considered insignificant. The name of some of the chapters provides a glimpse of what I am talking about. Here is a name of a chapter in Part I, "Vodka, the Church, and the Cinema".In this chapter, Trotsky states that as opposed to abolishing religion by force, the state should persuade individuals to leave their religious sect for more realistic alternatives(and in this case, he says the cinema is a solid alternative). Another name of a chapter is, "the struggle for cultured speech". In this chapter, Trotsky says the Russian language likely has the most profane and disgusting terms of any language(clearly he didn't know English to the extent he thought!), and he provides a program that could be used to eliminate the usage of such disgusting terms. In another chapter, which presently eludes my mind, Trotsky explains why individuals should opt for cremation, as opposed to Christian burials. Conversely, the book is sectioned off into four parts, 1.Problems of Everyday Life, 2.Education and Culture, 3.Science and Technology, 4.The Materilist Outlook. And as the name of the sections would suggest, the book is rich in opinions & observations. To a potential reader, I would definitely suggest this very insightful work, it's the equivalant of reading a book on etiquette, science, literature, etc, by a real genius(similar to Einstien's "Ideas and Observations"). Even if you disagree with Trotsky's materialist outlook on life, and his theory of permanent revolution, read this book, it will almost certainly make a positive impact on your relations with friends, relatives, and of course, adversaries. ...

Congressional Eye opener
Humorous yet informative
History as a smart cartoon.
A good introduction to Trotsky's thought Trotsky once in exile gave full flower to his best thinking. The bueracracy in the Soviet Union owned everything (the means of production,etc.) and would not give up power but perpetuate itself as dictatorships tend to do. Trotsky advocated destroying the bueracracy, reinstitue free debate and, according to Mr. Ali, wanted to "restore the Soviets." What this last means, I don't quite know. Does it mean he wanted to restore to them the power they held in 1917-18, as they were conceived to function during the revolution of 1905, perhaps even as the narodniks conceived them? Very interesting. Ali also points out that Trotsky saw clearly the menace of Hitlerism before just about everybody else did and advocated that the communists and social democrats join forces in a "united front" to try to stop Hitler which earned him even more violent abuse from Moscow and their sattelites in Germany. He vigorously attacked the "United Front" concept adopted at the seventh congress of the communist international in 1935 which called for Communists accross the world to join forces with social democrats and liberals in "popular fronts," effectively maintainging the status quo, which had such disasterous results in Spain during the civil war. I thought Phil Evans's illustrations were entertaining.

Editorial Review Product Description Introduction by George Novack, notes, other writings by Trotsky on Britain, index. Customer Reviews (3)
Workers/union people in USA need this book !ASAP ! It also has to do with understanding that it is Stalinism, shown in this book to be the opposite of communism, that is dead. Not socialism.
Instructions on how to overthrow capitalimsm Trotsky takes apart the bourgeois liberal, imperialist, and "democratic" illusions about Britain, and shows how in a time of crisis, more and more like the economic and political crisis faced in the US, Britain, and other imperialist countries today, only a revolutionary working class solution is correct. I found his criticism of the philosophy of political gradualism offered by British social democrats and Conservative politicians particularly pointed at both reformist and conservative labor bureaucrats today. The current editions contains contemporary responses this book by British reformist labor party leaders H. N. Brailsford, Ramsey McDonald, and George Lansbury and philosopher Bertrand Russell as well as Trotsky's responses to their criticism. It also contains 20 pages of reviews of Where is Britain going from bourgeois, reformist, and communist newspapers and magazines from Britain, the US, and Germany.

a misleading title
Very good - helds up despite being written decades ago
A Welcome Retrieval Wolfe wrote at a time when the left was still pretty gullible about Communism.There was, of course, an anti-communist opposition: in the long run the antis have proved to be more right than the apologists, but it is not so clear how much this is the result of careful research, how much of lucky accident.At any rate, giving a few points for hindsight, Wolfe's moral clarity is in retrospect pretty clear.And whatever his imperfections, he probably motivated me to read a lot of stuff I might otherwise never have come to: I remember particularly Trotsky's own autobiography, Adam Ulam's "Unfinished Revolution,", and Robert V. Daniels' "Documentary History of Communism," all of which I read in the weeks after I had finished Wolfe, and while I was still operating in his wake -- to say nothing of whatever I have picked up in the generation or more since.Any book that can stimulate that kind of inquiry has justified itself, no matter what its intrinsic merits -- and in this case, the intrinsic merits are pretty strong, also. ...

How revolting Worse than that, she was constant thorn in the side of people trying to build a genuine socialist movement in this country, against the very people who Trotsky had trained.She constantly put up conservative pressures: antiGay, anti women's liberation, antieverything from her position as a writer of trashy confession stories for trashy publications and her nest in suburban Long Island. Hedda topped that off by testifying as an FBI agent witness and as a spy for the US government in the successful suit in which the Socialist Workers Party convicted the US government for spying, burgluries, and other illegal harassment of socialists, antiwar activits, civil rights workers, and others fighting for social progress. More or less she tried to help the government fight the civil liberties of people in this country at a time when the government was being defeated and human rights were extended! That this person dares to have anything to write about a man like Trotsky who dedicated his life and his honor every minute to the socialist future of humanity, that this person who heaped stupid calumny on people who were trained by Trotsky, on the movement he founded dares to write something like this is simply revolting, simply revolting.Reading Hedda Garaz on Trotsky is like reading something about Martin Luther King written by George Wallace! ...
