Publisher Description: After being deported from the United States to Russia in 1920, Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman witnessed first-hand the contradictions of Lenin's so-called "dictatorship of the proletariat," the murder and imprisonment of Russian anarchists, and Trotsky's lethal suppression of the 1921 Kronstadt Uprising. While the two revolutionaries had initially offered critical support to the Bolshevik regime, the tyranny they witnessed in the so-called "worker's state" reaffirmed their belief that true social revolution can never be managed or manipulated by political parties seeking state power.
