Krátky popis
Reds tells the global history of communism, going beyond the
turmoil of the 20th century, and exploring communist ideas,
movements, and regimes. It starts in antiquity, not in 1917. It
centres not just on the obvious leaders and thinkers but asks how
the idealism of millions of working-class activists could lead to
their acquiescence in mass murder, repression and social
atomisation. A fact whose legacy - unfortunately - is alive and
kicking in both Russia and China today. Paul Mason's startling new
book will argue that the desire to live without hierarchy and
property is an impulse deeply rooted in our human nature. Reds
traces the history of communist ideas through revolts in the
ancient and medieval worlds, and chronicles the rise of 19th
century anti-capitalist movements. Using first hand testimonies of
both the perpetrators and the victims, Mason gives a new and
terrifying account of how the 20th century experiment in communism
turned into a totalitarian nightmare. But, he argues, the story is
not over. Western democracies are stagnant and lacking self-belief.
Looming climate chaos demands radical economic answers. Millions of
people in the global south see China's offer of authoritarian,
state-led development model as a viable alternative. And among the
Western left, new forms of techno-egalitarianism vie with
right-wing libertarianism in the battle over the digital
future.Reds will be a major analysis as we head into a dangerous
new world order where China and Russia threaten major change to the
world's democracies.
