What happened to the Communist International established in the aftermath of the Russian revolution? Written in June 1943, this pamphlet is especially relevant today in light of the deepening crisis of capitalism internationally and the sharpening of the splits in many Communist Parties internationally, between old style pro-Moscow Stalinists and the "Eurocommunists".

Ted Grant's original article is republished together with a new introduction by Alan Woods, and the article "The Evolution of the Comintern" written by one of Trotsky's collaborators in 1936.

"The past few years have seen a resurgence of the trade union movement, with one of the largest ever trade union organised demonstrations and large public sector strikes, as well as growing unrest in the private sector.

Hungarian Revolution – an inspiration for the socialist struggle today

For a few days at the end of October 1956, power was in the hands of the working class in Hungary. An insurrection and general strike was in progress. The old politicians and their hated system of government had been pushed aside. Revolutionary councils had been formed in the factories, in the countryside, in the universities and inside the army and police forces. The state machine had crumbled.
Few, if any, wanted a return to capitalism. Real socialism was firmly on the agenda. A revolutionary party like the Bolsheviks in Russia, 1917, could have lead this workers' rising to victory. With an international appeal to the workers of the world, the revolution could have spread so far and wide that both Stalinism and capitalism would have been wiped from the face of the earth.
Fifty years later, the struggle for genuine socialism is still hampered by the crimes of Stalinism and the way the capitalists use them to discredit the whole idea struggling against their system. But the Committee for a Workers’ International, with sections, groups and individual members in 45 countries, on all continents, is striving to reach new sections of young people and workers, to convince them that the struggle for socialism is as vital today as ever.
The burning need to cleanse the world of capitalism and landlordism, of war, poverty and environmental destruction means we cannot rest. The heroism of the millions of youth and workers in Hungary who made a revolution against Stalinist dictatorship and for real workers' democracy remains an inspiration to all who want to change the world.

This pamphlet is aimed as a ccontribution towards the discussion around the question of the food crisis under capitalism. It traces how these issues are linked to the very nature of the capitalist system itself, and thereby the impossibility of any of the solutions offered within that system to fundamentally remedy the problem. It concludes with a brief exploration of the possibilities lodged within a society organised on the basis of need rather than profit, a socialist society.

By the early nineteenth century, Manchester was England’s second largest city and world’s first industrial city. But it was run like a mediaeval market town with no real democracy and brutal poverty for the working class.

A mass movement developed among working-class and middle-class people, for universal manhood suffrage, annual parliaments and ‘the ballot’ i.e. a secret vote. The working-class part of this movement saw winning democratic rights as part of the struggle for better living and working conditions.

The huge demonstration on St Peter’s Fields on the 16 August 1819 was the high point of the working-class part of this movement. Estimates of the turnout vary up to 150,000 but academia is agreed that there were over 60,000 people. In a population of 400,000, there were up to half the adults on the march.

Women and Irish migrant workers were prominent on the demonstration as all sections of the working class poured out on protest in the world’s first mass working-class movement. The ruling class used army regiments and volunteer soldiers to smash the demonstration, killing 15 and wounding hundreds.

This new pamphlet, produced by the Socialist Party north-west region, brings together four new articles about “The Massacre,” “Revolution, War and Struggle,” “The run-up to Peterloo,” and “After Peterloo,” together with previously published material on the Pentrich Uprising and the Great French Revolution.
