Selected Books

On its communist foundation, Revolution Books offers a diverse and cutting-edge collection of books on history, politics, philosophy, economics, revolutionary theory, science, ecology, the arts, religion and atheism, as well as a selection of fiction and poetry.

At the heart of Revolution Books is the work of Bob Avakian. His radical re-envisioning of revolution and communism goes beyond even the best of previous socialist societies—and is as viable as it is liberating.

"In a world marked by profound class divisions and social inequality, to talk about “democracy”— without talking about the class nature of that democracy and which class it serves—is meaningless, and worse. So long as society is divided into classes, there can be no “democracy for all”: one class or another will rule, and it will uphold and promote that kind of democracy which serves its interests and goals. The question is: which class will rule and whether its rule, and its system of democracy, will serve the continuation, or the eventual abolition, of class divisions and the corresponding relations of exploitation, oppression and inequality."
