(George Bernard) Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion Produced by Russell Bell "Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion" by George Bernard Shaw is a philosophical treatise written during the early to mid-20th century. The book explores themes of social revolution, the plight of the masses, and the necessary evolution of humanity to achieve a better society. Shaw, adopting the persona of John Tanner, critiques contemporary social structures, advocating for radical change in the realms of property, marriage, and governance. In this work, Shaw presents a compelling argument for the need for a "Superman," an evolved individual capable of leading society beyond its current limitations. He discusses the historical failures of revolutions, arguing that they often merely shift power rather than instigate genuine change. By examining institutional barriers such as property and marriage, Shaw posits that these constructs inhibit the potential evolution of humanity. The book also emphasizes the importance of equality and selective breeding in advancing society and managing its future, while challenging readers to rethink notions of progress and civility. Ultimately, Shaw's provocative insights confront the reader with the idea that a true revolution in human thought and behavior is essential for the betterment of society.
