‎COMMUNISM ITALY PARTITO COMMUNISTA ITALIANO PRATI Luciano‎

‎Original lithographed poster: Venti anni di lotta per abbattere la dittatura - Bandiere rosse contro il fascismo "Twenty years of struggle against dictatorship - Red Flags Against Fascism!"‎

‎Roma: Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada 1971. First Edition. Lithographed poster offset in three colors; 100cm x 70cm ca 40" x 28"; on heavy paper. Minor toning; light creases at margins; Near Fine - Grade A/A-. A bit of a puzzle: the poster appears to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the formation of the Associazione Bandiera Rossa an Italian Trotskyist group; but the poster bears the imprint of the PCI the main-line Marxist-Leninist party in Italy -- an ideological implausibility even within the chaotic confines of Italian Marxism. Adding further to the confusion is a quotation from Antonio Gramsci founder of the PCI in upper right. In any case a terrific graphic attributed here to Luciano Prati whose name we encounter on a few late-70s Italian film posters but nowhere else. Duke University appears to be the only North American institution to hold a catalogued copy of this work. Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada unknown books‎

‎COMMUNISM CPUSA MANUILSKY DZ. Dmitry Zhakarovych D. Z.‎

‎How to Prepare a Report on the International Situation‎

‎San Francisco: Educational Committee San Francisco Communist Party N.d. ca 1937. First Edition. Corner-stapled mimeographed typescript 36cm x 22cm; 6pp printed recto-only. Toning corner creases and general wear; still a complete Good or better example. Dated from text. Rather remarkable Popular Front document prepared by Manuilsky as Deputy General Secretary of the Comintern and clearly oriented toward American Party members as the majority of the text deals with the resurgent economic crisis in the U.S. Though the title of the paper might suggest a style sheet or compositional outline the document in fact is a list of rather explicit instructions to American Party members on how to interpret contemporary world events in the light of current Soviet doctrine the general upshot being that the American economic crisis the rise of European fascism revolution in China and the increasing militancy of the Japanese are all symptoms of the collapse of capitalism and the ". growing resistance of the working class and the toiling masses against the onslaught of the fascist powers!" Evidence of Moscow's direct influence on the CPUSA during this period is hardly necessary to prove a point but this document provides a neat example of precisely how that influence was directed and executed. Unrecorded in this format though a similar document was published in Los Angeles in 1946 per OCLC; this printing clearly much earlier based on text.
