Socialism

UTOPIAN AND SCIENTIFIC By Frederick Engels

When may we expect a proletarian revolution? Can we plan to have it at a certain time? Can we carry a revo- lution by propaganda? Does it depend on what we desire? We all want tickets to the New Society of the Workers. How can we know how near we are historically? Engels gives us the signs in this book. They never fail. When we under- stand them we can know how to use social and economic forces to carry us forward to the New Day. Cloth, 60 cents; paper, 25 cents.
