1. The Revolution Betrayed
What Is the Soviet Union and Where Is It Going?
A sharp political and historical critique of the Soviet state in the 1920s–30s, arguing that the revolution had been subverted by a privileged bureaucratic caste that usurped workers’ democracy and deformed socialist property relations; the book analyzes how political degeneration—centralized party domination, suppression of dissent, and bureaucratic control of the planned economy—threatens both socialist gains and the international revolutionary movement, and it asserts that only a political revolution restoring workers’ democracy can prevent counter-revolution and revive genuine socialism.
