Sydney: Resistance Books, 2001. 1. Paperback. New. A radical democratisation of society is at the very heart of the socialist project. In this collection of writings, V.I. Lenin, the founder and leader of the Bolshevik Party and the leader of the 1917 Russian Revolution, explains the class basis of democracy under capitalism and its severe inherent limitations. Lenin’s writings centre on his post-revolution polemic with Karl Kautsky, the one-time Marxist authority who opposed the revolution and the soviet form of workers’ power associated with it.

Sydney: New Course Publications, 1994. 1. Paperback. New. This book contains four talks by Jim Percy, the founder of the Democratic Socialist Party. Given between 1990 and 1992, they focus on the continuing need for a revolutionary socialist party and reaffirm the basic approach to building such a party in an advanced capitalist country like Australia. Percy outlines how, in the difficult conditions of the 1990s, a party dedicated to the cause of socialism can survive and grow through the political and organisational methods first developed by Lenin but so often misunderstood.

Sydney: Resistance Books, 2017. 1. Pamphlet. New. The persvasive gender inequality of modern society is not ‘natural’. In fact, the earliest human communities did not know private property, class domination the state — or the subordination of women. Frederick Engels’s pioneering 1884 work The Origin of Family, Private Property and the State, provided a sciantific explanation of the origins of women’s oppression. Recent scientific evidence enables some of the gaps in his account to be filled in and a fully coherent explanation to be developed.

Sydney: Resistance Books, 1999. 1. Pamphlet. New. Dollars for Death addresses many of the problems associated with uranium mining and nuclear power: the adverse environmental effects, the limitations of ‘safeguards’ that claim to preclude the use of Australian uranium in nuclear weapons, the huge water consumption of nuclear power plants, the after-effects of the Fukushima disaster, the legacy of nuclear waste and the crude racism that is so often a feature of nuclear politics. Nuclear power is no solution to climate change.
