To Begin Again: The Past of Communism, the Future of Emancipation

Why did communism fail? What were its internal flaws? What does this mean for us? Drawing from the author's experience in leftist circles, this book serves as a clear guide to help a new generation of radicals sift their way through the dense history of Communism. Today, as we witness a transitional political recomposition, Mohandesi unearths the suppressed history of radical international politics, helping readers avoid old mistakes, confront unresolved contradictions and rethink emancipation for our current issues. To Begin Again provides an accessible rubric for confronting, reconsidering, and reevaluating the past in order to act more effectively in the present.A lucid, indispensable toolkit for anyone trying to understand the past and transform our future.
