Offering a vivid portrait of social struggles in the era of the Bolshevik-led October Revolution, the reports, resolutions, and debates—among delegates from 37 countries—take up key questions of working-class strategy and program: the fight for national liberation, the revolutionary transformation of trade unions, the worker-farmer alliance, participation in bourgeois parliaments and elections, and the structure and tasks of Communist Parties.
This is the first book of the two volume set
Workers of the World and Oppressed Peoples, Unite! (2-Vol. Set)
This book is part of a series,
The Communist International in Lenin’s Time.
“Reading through the thousand pages of proceedings of the second Comintern congress propels one back into an extraordinary moment of conviction and confidence, when for a brief instant people of the margins felt that their time had come.”
