Inhaltsangabe

The Coming Revolution in Great Britain is a book written by Gerald Gould in 1920. The book discusses the political and social situation in Great Britain at the time and predicts that a revolution is imminent. Gould argues that the working class is becoming increasingly frustrated with the capitalist system and that the government is failing to address their concerns. He also suggests that the war has left a legacy of discontent and that the country is ripe for radical change. The book is written in a persuasive and passionate style, urging readers to take action and join the revolution. Despite its controversial content, The Coming Revolution in Great Britain was widely read and discussed at the time, and is still considered an important historical document today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

By George Lansbury Curses, like chickens, come home to roost, and promises, Hke pie-crusts, are made to be broken :these sayings which we learned in our childhood contain much more than an element of truth they are truth. The classes in power throughout the world are in that position solely because they and their predecessors have pinned their faith to the doctrine of might is right. The whole basis of society rests on armed force, ready at all times to be used on the side of vested interests and special privilege. Now and then one class replaces another, and sometimes a tiny section is able to exercise power. In every case there is no real consent of the governed to be governed. There is, of course, a kind of tacit or implied acquiescence, which is a very different thing. People accept the ills of to-day because they are not very certain what sort of a change to-morrow might bring forth; but everywhere and at all times governments, and most peoples, do be Ueve in the theory that those who have the power have also the right. But the modern working-class movement or at least some sections of it are challenging the theory that the use of violence and force is right when used by a government, but is WT ong when used by revolutionists.
