Vol. 74/No. 3      January 25, 2010

The book is essential for understanding that the dictatorship of capital that we live under today, with deepening attacks on workers’ standard of living, democratic rights, and expanding imperialist war moves, must be replaced by the dictatorship of the proletariat, where the working class led by a politically class-conscious vanguard—in the millions—takes state power and utilizes this mighty weapon to rid society of all forms of exploitation and human degradation.

It is something new in politics that a growing layer of workers are more open to a discussion of this revolutionary perspective. That is why the winter/spring propaganda campaign to sell subscriptions to the Militant can be a bridge to getting Malcolm X, Black Liberation, and the Road to Workers Power into the hands of new and long-term readers of the paper.

The book describes the vanguard role played by workers who are Black in proletarian-led struggles in the United States. It is about the last year of Malcolm X’s life and how he became one of the most outstanding revolutionary working-class leaders to emerge in the 20th century.

Distributing the special supplement published by the Militant that contains the book’s introduction, and follow-up discussions about it, will also boost sales of the book.

Militant subscribers can take advantage of the discounted price of $10 to purchase the book. Those who haven’t yet decided to subscribe or renew their subscriptions can also get this offer if they purchase at specially reduced prices at least one of three other Pathfinder titles: Cuba and the Coming American Revolution, Is Socialist Revolution in the U.S. Possible? and The Working Class and the Transformation of Learning.

Join the campaign to distribute Malcolm X, Black Liberation, and the Road to Workers Power at your workplace, in Black communities and other working-class areas, and on the campuses. And join with others interested in discussing the road forward that this book provides for workers and farmers in the fight against the dictatorship of capital.
