The Working Class in the British Isles in 1838 and 1842 and 1848 and its lessons for today.
The 10 year agitation a lesson for Today- a failure of Leadership.
How do we craft People's War not merely insurrection ? Byron gives us a description.
Byron in his Don Juan Eighth Canto writes
At first it grumbles, then it swears, and then,
Like David, flings smooth pebbles 'gainst a giant;
At last it takes to weapons such as men
Snatch when despair makes human hearts less pliant.
Then comes "the tug of war;" -- 't will come again,
I rather doubt; and I would fain say "fie on 't,"
If I had not perceived that revolution
Alone can save the earth from hell's pollution
