🚨Major Release Today🚨
We are very pleased to announce Volumes 5 and 6 of the Collected Works of Josef Stalin are now available!
The Collected Works of Stalin Volume 5 continues the essential chronicles of the beginnings of the Soviet state in the years 1921 to 1923. Volume 6 marks an important milestone in the journey of the early Soviet Union-the year 1924, starting with the tragic, untimely death of Lenin, at whose funeral Stalin was a pallbearer.
These texts are a pivotal addition to the continuing critical republication of Stalin's Works, allowing readers, activists, and scholars access to these texts who in no small measure defined the course of the 20th Century, and continue to have relevance for our contemporary struggles.

“Arab nationalist slogans have been exploited to the extent that the popular masses no longer take them seriously. This is particularly evident when declarations promoting immediate Arab unity and the liberation of Palestine are quickly replaced by collaborative regimes waging war against the Iranian people…”

“The answer to the new phase of imperialism cannot be a struggle to maintain the old form of more nationally based capitalist economics; it should be a struggle for a more social treatment of the productive forces, a more social version of globalization, necessary for creating a more equal world-system.”

“Trotsky needs ‘desperately’ to discredit the Party, and its cadres who carried through the uprising, in order, after discrediting the Party, to proceed to discredit Leninism. And it is necessary for him to discredit Leninism in order to drag in Trotskyism as the ‘sole’ ‘proletarian’ (don’t laugh!) ideology.”
