The "Theses of the Socialist Association" were adopted at the second general meeting in September 1968. While inheriting the spirit of the Left Socialist Party's program, they took into account new changes in circumstances, indicated the prospect of a peaceful transition of state power in Japan, and clarified the strategy for the Japanese revolution. The "Proposals of the Socialist Association" is a revised version of the "Theses of the Socialist Association" adopted at the 11th Congress of the Socialist Association held in September 1977. (From the Afterword) The "Theses" have burns and stains. Also, there are red lines drawn in "Introduction" and "Prologue," and although I tried to erase them with an eraser, some traces remain. The "Proposals" have some burns but are in good, clean condition. Please purchase them as a set of two books.
