Summary "Bolshevism: The Enemy of Political and Industrial Democracy" by John Spargo is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work seeks to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of Bolshevism and its implications for democracy in both political and industrial spheres, focusing primarily on Russia's revolutionary movements. Spargo approaches this topic from a critical perspective, aiming to outline the philosophy, programs, and actions of the Bolsheviki while contrasting them against the principles of democracy. The opening of the book introduces John Spargo's intent to present a fair and balanced examination of Bolshevism, distancing himself from sensationalism and aiming for a scientific analysis. He discusses the historical background that has led to the rise of revolutionary movements in Russia, mentioning key figures like the Decembrists and social reformers. Spargo emphasizes the failures of Russia's autocracy and the plight of the working class, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the violent and tumultuous revolutionary actions that follow, outlining early influences on the philosophical underpinnings of Bolshevism. The text reflects a critical examination of the romanticized and sensational narratives that have often surrounded this pivotal moment in history, indicating that Spargo's work aspires to deliver a reliable narrative rooted in facts and historical context.
