About This Book
The pamphlet warns British workers about the spread of Bolshevist propaganda, distinguishing between the term's varied uses and its specific meaning in Russia. It recounts the seizure of power by Bolshevik leaders and the forcible suppression of democratic institutions, arguing that those events reveal coercive, violent tendencies rather than genuine majority rule. The author cautions that similar tactics are being used to influence trade-union members and to promote unauthorized strike action. He advocates combating that influence through Social-Democratic education, democratic trade-union organisation, and properly elected shop stewards and works committees. The tone is urgent and prescriptive, urging industrial workers to reject rule by force in favour of organised political and union action.
