Description:Clearly written, sharply argued and highly stimulating, "Socialism: What Went Wrong?" is a profound analysis of the inherent flaws in Marxist-Leninist orthodoxy which undermined, and eventually destroyed, socialism in the Soviet Union.Silber's critique draws its strength from an historical examination of the critical turning points in communist ideology by means of which he exposes the theoretical and programmatic problems of the Soviet model and the contradictions of the socialist ideal. In the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union, he concludes we must understand what went wrong, and why, if we hope to build a new socialist movement in the future.Irwin Silber brings to his inquiry the accumulated experience of more than half a century as an activist on the American left. A founder and editor of the political song magazine "Sing Out!," he has been writing on political, cultural and theoretical subjects for the The Guardian, Frontline and Crossroads since 1968."'Socialism: What Went Wrong?' raises many of the essential questions that we will have to consider in constructing a truly democratic left alternative." -- Professor Manning Marable, Director of the African-American Studies Program, Columbia University"A provocative, well-written volume which will discomfit defenders of orthodoxy and promote a no-holds-barred discussion of communism's past and socialism's possibilities." -- Paul Buhle, author of Marxism in America and editor of The Encyclopedia of the US Left"An insightful and provocative analysis; an important contribution to building a new movement." -- Elizabeth Martinez, author of "Five Hundred Years of Chicano History"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
