The Revolutionary Act: Military Insurrection Or Political And Economic Action? (1922)

The Revolutionary Act: Military Insurrection Or Political And Economic Action? is a book written by Friedrich Engels in 1922. The book explores the different methods of achieving revolution, specifically whether it should be through military insurrection or political and economic action. Engels argues that while military insurrection may be necessary in some cases, it is not the most effective or sustainable method of achieving revolutionary change. Instead, he advocates for a combination of political and economic action, including the formation of workers' unions and political parties, as well as the use of strikes and other forms of nonviolent resistance. Engels draws on his extensive knowledge of Marxist theory and history to make his case, and his arguments continue to be relevant to contemporary debates about revolutionary tactics and strategies. Overall, The Revolutionary Act is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers valuable insights into the complex and multifaceted nature of revolutionary change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
