The Communist International’s Failure Still Haunts the Left
Review of Travellers of the World Revolution: A Global History of the Communist International by Brigitte Studer (Verso Books, 2023)
The Communist International was conceived in March 1919 amid the siege conditions of revolutionary Russia, within weeks of Berlin’s Spartacist Uprising and the murders of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht. The Comintern’s twenty-four years of activity before its dissolution in 1943 were a historic high point for the rationally organized and transnationally coordinated pursuit of the overthrow of capitalism.

The global travel of anti-imperialists shows their struggle as caught between national and international frameworks, and how relationships of anti-imperialism and cosmopolitanism had a radical impact on their lives. Primarily based on accounts in the personal files of the Communist International in Moscow, this article sheds light on how these journeys and meetings between anti-imperialists from Japan, India, Great Britain,
