She settled in Rome and began organizing immigrant laborers in the textile industry. Later, she became a leader of the Italian Socialist Party and then the Italian Social Democrats. Balabanoff continued to stay closely in touch with the Russian revolutionary movement and served on the executive committee of the Union of Women Socialists and worked with Clara Zetin on women’s congresses. Soon after the Bolshevik triumph, Balabanoff returned to Russia where she served as secretary to the International in 1919. She later became a critic of Bolshevism and returned to Italy, but the rise of fascism led her to exile in Switzerland, where she edited the Paris Avanti! in 1928. She continued to be involved in socialist activities internationally until her health began to fail in 1964. None of her writings have yet been transcribed for MIA. For a review of her autobiography by Max Shachtman, see his article in the New International.“ - The original text is here: 0:00 Opening Background 1:41 Audiobook 6:46 Closing Comments Credits #s4a #socialismforall #socialism #ussr #angelicabalabanoff #angelicabalabanov #socialism4all #russia #russianrevolution #communist #communism #s4a​​ #socialismforall​​ #socialism4all​​ #revolution2030​​ #rev2030 #socialism​​ #communism​​ #marxism​​ #marxismleninism​​​​ #socialist #communist #marxistleninist #lenin #leninism #marx #economics #news #politics #antifa #antifascist #antifascism #history #theory
