Revolutionary Optimism, Western Nihilism - Paperback

by Andre Vltchek (Author)

The great Latin American revolutionary writer, Eduardo Galeano, once said toVltchek, "It is time to raise old flags. It is time to un-dust them and once again gather under them." The Revolution is not over. Communism and socialism are far from being defeated. One of the leading left-wing thinkers today, Andre Vltchek, in this collection of philosophical, revolutionary essays, explains why revolutionary optimism is so feared in the nihilistic West and, by taking us to all corners of the world, proves that people everywhere are still capable of dreaming, hoping and fighting for a much better world and for eternal ideals
