The Friends of 4 Million Young Workers

$14.95

Title details

Un monde sans argent: Le communisme is a series of tracts by Les amis de 4 millions jeunes travailleurs, a Parisian collective vaguely tied to the youth wing of the Unified Socialist Party. Originally published between 1975 and 1976, it met a readership deep in the anti-capitalist “crisis of work” which would come to mark the decade succeeding France’s uprisings of May 1968: wildcat strikes, worker self-management, and a generalized distaste for labor, as such, among young people. Reflecting the optimistic context from which it arose, this polemic—imaginative, funny, and sometimes offensive—is a rare, detailed elaboration of communism as reality, in view just beyond the imminent revolution.
