‎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

‎How to Prepare a Report on the International Situation‎

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.

‎Ge shidai shehui jingji jiegou biaojie "Explanatory Chart of Economic Structures in Each Stage of Society's Development".‎

‎Shanghai: Taipingyang chubanshe 1949. First edition of this large political visualization significant for its publication date only a few weeks before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It reflects an increased demand for material explaining the ideology of the Chinese Communist Party caused by the party's victory in the civil war and the complete collapse of the Kuomintang on the mainland. The table presents some of the core ideas of Marxism tracking economic and cultural evolution from primitive through to capitalist and then socialist societies. The columns address such criteria as modes and means of production vanguard revolutionary forces and class relations. Although the table accommodates a transitional period from capitalism and socialism this differs from the "new democracy" approach favoured by Mao in the PRC's early years. Printed table 530 x 680 mm folding away into 157 x 107 mm card wrappers front cover lettered in red within black frame. Table in Chinese text printed in red and black.
