Why this petition matters

Started by Ezra Byrd

The works of the the great comrade Stalin are difficult to come by in physical form, yet they remain some of the most influential and important works in the communist movement. Studying a physical book is very important to the development of a communists understanding of theory. Addditionally while they are online for free, consistent research shows a trend towards better retention through physical mediums. This can also allow for these works to be better ordered by libraries and other learning institutions. 

Some of these works include The Foundations of Leninism, Questions of Leninism, Marxism and the National Question, Trotskyism or Leninism?, The Right Danger in the C.P.S.U.(B.), Dialectical and Historical Materialism, Marxism and Problems of Linguistics, Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR, History of the C.P.S.U.(B.), and many others. 

While these books are available through mega corporations such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, smaller publishers that raise money for progressive and worker oriented organizations, like International Publishers, are not printing the works because they don't believe that there are enough comrades who would be interested in obtaining and studying the works of one of the greatest communist leaders of all time. Why should we allow Amazon to retain a monopoly on his works?

International Publishers, http://intpubnyc.com will only bring back the works of Stalin if they can guarantee a certain amount of sales to cover the costs of republishing. That cost is around $500 per book. 

We need to show International Publishers that it's worth their time and investment to republish the works of the great comrade, so that we aren't forced to give our money to anti union, reactionary, anti communist organizations and instead we will be able to stock our bookshelves funding progressive pro communist organizations and the work of comrades around the world. 

By signing this petition you are showing International Publishers there is a large enough group of comrades out there that are willing to purchase the works of Stalin if they were made available and support progressive organizations!
