The swastika first entered modern history in the uniforms of the German counterrevolutionary troops of 1918 to 1923—and because of the defeat in Germany, Russia fell into the isolation that gave Stalin his road to power. Here, Chris Harman unearths the history of the lost revolution in Germany, and reveals its lessons for the future struggles for a better world.

Chris Harman's 'The Lost Revolution' provides a readable account of one of the most decisive events in 20th century history. This book is unusual in that it is written from a point of view sympathetic to the revolution and to its tragic leading figures, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht.

The Lost Revolution

Turnaround

These two essays, on base and superstructure and the transition from feudalism to capitalism, provide a new synthesis of Marx's theory of historical change. Chris Harman shows that a Marxist understanding of history rejects any kind of crude determinism. Instead it gives an unparalleled analysis of how change is forged out of struggle in a context determined first and foremost, but is not exclusively, but economic factors. This book is essential reading for anyone who not only wishes to understand the world but also to change it.

The author's concept is that Marxian capitalism explains how the present state of the world has developed over the past 150 years, and that 21st century capitalism is a defunct system that does not allow human achievement, often causing disruption of human achievement around the world. An interesting read.
