The Proletarian Class and the Proletarian Party

A new translation from the original Russian manuscript with a new afterword by the translator and a timeline of Stalin's life and works."Armed Insurrection and our Tactics" was published in 1905, at a time when Russia was undergoing major uprisings. Here Stalin dissects the mechanics of armed insurrection and advocates for genocide against the "enemies of progress" and the fascists. This piece foreshadows tactics that would be used during the violent October Revolution of 1917, which would kill tens of thousands of innocents and lead to Stalin's implementation as dictator.
