James P. Cannon and the Origins of the American Revolutionary Left, 1890-1928
Author: Bryan D. Palmer
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252092082
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 577
Book Description
Bryan D. Palmer's award-winning study of James P. Cannon's early years (1890-1928) details how the life of a Wobbly hobo agitator gave way to leadership in the emerging communist underground of the 1919 era. This historical drama unfolds alongside the life experiences of a native son of United States radicalism, the narrative moving from Rosedale, Kansas to Chicago, New York, and Moscow. Written with panache, Palmer's richly detailed book situates American communism's formative decade of the 1920s in the dynamics of a specific political and economic context. Our understanding of the indigenous currents of the American revolutionary left is widened, just as appreciation of the complex nature of its interaction with international forces is deepened.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ... Reminiscences of an Agitator With a Diagnosis and a Remedy for Present Economic Conditions. CHAPTER I. "Whom the Gods Wish to Destroy, they First Make Mad." Ten years ago, political conditions in Los Angeles were well nigh intolerable. One man, through the connivance of some and the pusillanimity of others, Lpractically ruled the city.p He was an absolute dictator. CJSTo man could be a candidate for public office, y in city or county, without his sanction, and when elected, no office-holder could appoint a deputy or assistant to the humblest position in his administration without the "o. k." of the dictator. A newspaper, more or less in league with this dictator and the principles he represented, ruthlessly maligned and berated any citizen who dared to question the motives or methods of this oligarchyind altogether the situation was, as already mentioned, intolerable. It was a veritable political reign of terror, and there seemed but little prospect of relief, until about nine years ago, Dr. John R. Haynesthe author of these reminiscences, ijid four other men met and organized the Direct Legislation League of Los Angeles. Here was the beginning of the work that has revolutionized the operation of politics in this State, and which bids fair to be a prime factor in doing for the nation what it has already done for the State. Intoxicated with power, filled with contempt for the people in regard to their political rights, never dreaming that their downfall was so near, looking upon Dr. Haynes as a dreamer, considering the author of these pages (if they ever thought of him at all) as absolutely beneath their notice politically, this almost impregnable coalition fell as so many have done before them, by underestimating the power and...
