The struggle for mastery in Germany
A very good, extensive, study on Gracchus Babeuf's ideology, as one of the most interesting (if not the single most interesting) theorists of pre-Marxist communism. There are an amazing amount of citations the author provides, and heaps of background on what was occurring within the more radical factions of the French revolution, who wanted to abolish the monarchy and private property, to replace it with the beauty of a classless, stateless paradise.
Babeuf was something else, just not your ordinary communist. Someone who was willing to die for his cause, receiving the miserable steel of execution at his end. But, his memory will live on. The fact that he, and his fellow conspirators, were brave enough to face off against the monarchical state, to abolish capitalism and markets, having realised the fatal consequences beforehand, displays true heroism on his part. Hopefully, some day, a new conspiracy will emerge, one based off of Babeuf's ideas, that'll overthrow the corrupt governments we have in place today.
A book every devout communist should read. Babeuf was a revolutionary hero everyone should knowledge and admire.
