Bertrand Arthur
William Russell was a (1872-1970) Nobel
Laureate, Philosopher, Social and political critic, mathematician, voluminous
writer of England. He was a teacher for Social Democracy at LSE. During his official
visit to Soviet Union, he met Lenin . He
had his correspondence with Nehru and Chou of China. He was a friend of V K
Krishna Menon. Russel- Einstein manifesto for Nuclear Disarmament was issued
during 1955. He associated with Sartre also.
This book of
Russel PROPOSED ROADS TO FREEDOM during 1918 is really a
brilliant analysis of the dominant currents viz Marxism of Marx, Anarchism of
Bakunin- Kropotkin and Syndicalism- Guild socialism . After analyzing fairly
the works of the great masters, Russell arrived closer to Guild socialists (
quoting G D H Cole) with a slight bend towards Anarchists. The Price of the
Hard cover of this book is more than 25
dollars, even the paperback is 10 dollars. I have given the full text of that book in Word Document in
144 pages (A 4) in my Face Book. I have highlighted the
portions where I found good arguments, underlined the portions with highlights
where the arguments getting stronger. Next Year 2017 is marking the centenary of Soviet Revolution ( Indira Gandhi's Centenary also). 2018 will
mark the 100th year Russel's Book- Proposed Roads to Freedom
