| Summary | "Bolshevism: A Curse & Danger to the Workers" by H. W. Lee is a political pamphlet written in the early 20th century. It addresses the rise of Bolshevism in Russia and its implications for workers and the labor movement, arguing that Bolshevism poses a significant threat to the rights and conditions of workers. The book reflects the political climate in the period following World War I, as various socialist movements were gaining momentum and public interest. In this pamphlet, H. W. Lee conducts a critical examination of Bolshevism, discussing its origins, ideological underpinnings, and the resulting political landscape in Russia. He outlines how the Bolshevik regime, under Lenin and Trotsky, has resorted to repressive measures against both political opponents and the general populace, thereby undermining democracy and any genuine socialist ideals. Lee argues that the Bolshevik's dictatorial approach does not align with the true objectives of social democracy and warns that their tactics—a blend of revolutionary fervor and authoritarianism—could mislead the British working class into supporting movements that ultimately threaten their rights and livelihoods. Through detailed analysis, Lee emphasizes the necessity for a more educated, organized approach to socialism that values democracy and collective action within the trade unions.
