Red Flag: A History of Communism

Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Mao, Che, Castro, Tito, Enver Hoxha, Ho Chi Minh... David Priestland, from the French Revolution, where the main elements of communist politics were first seen, to the establishment of Marxist parties; From the October Revolution to guerrilla movements; From political ideas, attitudes and behaviors to the lives of those living in communist countries; from the quagmire of economism to the slide into totalitarianism; It tells a concise history of communism, touching on many topics from internationalism to the extension of the nationalist line. It was thought that humanity's dream of "building heaven on earth" ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. However, the dream of communism, which has a short history compared to the thousands of years of capitalism, is still alive. Red Flag is an important book for both understanding this dream and learning lessons from the past. “This book covers the history of communism as its center of influence shifted from the West to the East and the South… from there to the Far East, China, and after the Second World War, to Southeast Asia and then to the Southern Globe. He traces it. “Now that global capitalism is in crisis, it is time to reexamine the communists' efforts to create an alternative system and the reasons why they have failed.”
