As people here know, I scan books. You can find the books myself and others have scanned here: https://archive.org/search.php?query=uploader%3A%22kocotosi%40gmail.com%22&sort=-publicdate

There are plenty of books put out by the USSR, China and other countries, or just old books in general, that can be obtained either cheaply via online sellers or libraries. These can then be put online alongside the books you see there.

If /marx/ can contribute to the left in some way, I think this can be a fine way to do so. There are two ways in which to do this:

1. Buy a book online or go to a nearby library and obtain a book, then scan it and send it my way so I can put it online.

2. Buy a book online and ship it to my address, whereupon I will duly scan it.

Be sure to mention any books beforehand so I can tell you if they're able to be scanned and publicly put online or not. As should be obvious, these are books that we would either have permission to scan or would face no repercussions to doing so (such as the aforementioned Soviet books.)

To get into contact with me sign up on the forum mentioned in the stickied thread on top and just send me a PM there (my username there is the same as on here.) If you want to buy a book for me to scan, PM me there and I'll direct you to a bunch of cheap books ($5 or less) you could choose from.

In the meantime I am going to use this thread to announce books I intend to scan.

Books I intend to scan in the near future:

* "Women in the Soviet East" by Fannina Halle (1938)

* "The Populist movement in the United States" by Anna Rochester (1943)

* "The Pattern of Soviet Power" by Edgar Snow (1945)

* "Gene Debs: The Story of a Fighting American" (1948)

>"Women in the Soviet East"

Interested in this.

Have you scanned any other texts that specifically deal with East Russia?

"East" in this context generally means Central Asia.

* https://archive.org/details/HowTheNationalQuestionWasSolvedInSovietCentralAsia

* https://archive.org/details/SovietLightOnTheColonies

* https://archive.org/details/SovietButNotRussian (chapter 6)

If you want stuff on the Far East though, I didn't scan this but you should find it useful: http://bookzz.org/book/685447/802419

If you want more on Central Asia, one book you'd probably find interesting is "Red Star in Samarkand" by Anna Louise Strong which, again, I didn't scan but it can be found here: http://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/001235398

Another Soviet thing I intend to scan is "Recent History of the Labor Movement in the United States," which is three volumes covering the years 1918-1980. Each volume is 500-600 pages and they're en route in the mail.

Are you verilly that terrified of women that someone can't even scan a book with their name on it without you going kneejerk. The sad part is I bet you're a one off shitposter, but you'd fit in quite well over on /leftypol/.

Stalin pointed out in 1923 that "the political education of women workers and peasants is a task of primary importance, a most important task for real victory over the bourgeoisie today, when the workers and peasants have set about the building of a new life." It has nothing to do with "tumblr" and everything to do with the socialist transformation of a deeply patriarchal society where women could be killed by their husbands for "dishonoring" them (something also brought up in the aforementioned work by Anna Louise Strong.)

Can't see anything in your library.

The Soviets put out a 1988 book titled "History of the Middle Ages," I know someone who scanned it but he doesn't want to put it publicly online.

One of the first books I scanned though deals with 1640-1870: https://archive.org/details/ModernHistory16401870

Unfortunately it looks like "Women in the Soviet East" won't actually be arriving in my mailbox any time soon. Looks like the seller didn't actually have it in their possession.

On the other hand, I have scanned a Soviet book from 1977 on an entirely different subject: https://archive.org/details/TheNoncapitalistWay

The three-volume "Recent History of the Labor Movement in the United States" has now been scanned:

* https://archive.org/details/RecentHistoryLaborMovementUSVolume1 (1918-1939)

* https://archive.org/details/RecentHistoryLaborMovementUSVolume2 (1939-1965)

* https://archive.org/details/RecentHistoryLaborMovementUSVolume3 (1965-1980)

Even though "Women in the Soviet East" by Fannina Halle has eluded me, a guy I know is going to scan a book called "Red Virtue" by Ella Winter from 1933, which is one of the most important books on the subject of the progress of women under the Bolsheviks (and contains info on other matters as well.) Should be scanned sometime next month.
