About this book
Comrades is a 1909 novel by Thomas Dixon Jr. (1864-1946), the American novelist and playwright, satirising socialism through the story of a utopian socialist colony established on an island off the California coast. The colony, funded by a wealthy convert's fortune, descends from idealistic beginnings into factionalism, confiscation, and dictatorship, as Dixon dramatises his argument that socialist economics must end in tyranny. The book belongs to the anti-socialist popular fiction that answered the growth of the American Socialist Party in the years before the First World War, and it was adapted into the 1919 film Bolshevism on Trial, one of the first American anti-Bolshevik films. The novel is a primary source for early twentieth-century American political fiction.
