1919Best.-Nr. 43051New York: Libreria Rossa N.d. ca 1919. First Edition. 12mo 18cm. Staple-bound pamphlet; printed thick paper wrappers; 24pp. Slight aging; mild creasing to spine; Very Good. Text entirely in Italian. Communist tract issued shortly after the Russian revolution calling for an immediate proletarian revolution in Italy with socialization of industry and agriculture; closure of borders to prevent the flight of the bourgeoisie; and the "management of the new society through a free arrangement of persons and competent groups" ".persone e di gruppi competenti interessati all soluzione di ogni singolo problema tecnico e sociale". The pseudonym "Emme" is unknown to us; nor is it certain from which "Libreria Rossa" this pamphlet originated - "libreria rossa" "red bookshop" being a common enough appelation among Italian-American radical booksellers of all political stripes during this period. One copy only in OCLC; not seen in commerce; not in Periconi. Libreria Rossa unknown
1937Best.-Nr. 40520San 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.

1919Best.-Nr. 17439Chicago: Deutschen Sprachgruppe der Socialist Party of the United States 1919. First American Edition. 12mo 18cm. Printed card wrappers; 127pp. Very mild external wear; faint spotting to a few pages of text; Near Fine in the original wrappers. Probable first printing in America of Trotsky's account of the October revolution. English editions appeared the same year in London and Brooklyn but it is likely that this German-language version translated from the Russian by German-American scholar Jacob Wittmer Hartmann precedes any English edition. Interestingly a German translation had already appeared in Berlin in 1918 but the German-language group of the Socialist Party commissioned this new translation from Hartmann for the American edition.

Best.-Nr. 77437Small poster 8 1/2" x 14" photomechanically reproduced on white paper. Two-sided with the text in English on one side and Spanish on the other. Creased horizontally with some mild toning; else very good. This piece was intended to raise awareness of an April 24 1980 march and memorial meeting in Oakland California organized by the Revolutionary Communist Party in honor of Damian Garcia who was murdered two days earlier while distributing party literature at the Pico Gardens housing project in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. Garcia a U.C. Santa Barbara graduate who served as executive director of La Casa de la Raza during the mid-1970s was a prominent RCP member who led one of the group's most notable actions: raising the red flag over the Alamo in San Antonio on March 20 1980. Throwing down the Texas flag Garcia declared "We've come to set the record straight about the Alamo. This is a symbol of the theft of Mexican land a symbol about the murder of Mexicans and Indians and a symbol of oppression of Chicanos and Mexicanos throughout the whole Southwest." He also called on people together with the proletariat worldwide to come out in struggle on May 1: International Workers Day. Following Garcia's death the RCP claimed that his murder was a result of this action and alleged Los Angeles Police Department involvement. The party also refused to cooperate in the investigation and organized demonstrations against both the LAPD and the City of Los Angeles including a May Day march in Los Angeles that was forcibly dispersed by riot clad police officers. As the RCP's first and only martyr Garcia remains an important propaganda symbol for the organization and frequently appears in the RCP newspaper The Revolutionary Worker. unknown
