State and Revolution

Autor Vladimir Il'Ich Lenin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iun 2020

Bazându-ne pe analiza ediției revizuite publicate de Penguin Books, observăm că The State and Revolution rămâne documentul teoretic fundamental pentru înțelegerea regimului sovietic. Scrisă într-un moment critic de clandestinitate, între iulie și octombrie 1917, lucrarea reprezintă justificarea ideologică a lui Vladimir Lenin pentru răsturnarea ordinii capitaliste. Remarcăm rigoarea cu care istoricul Robert Service contextualizează textul în introducere, explorând nu doar condițiile politice ale scrierii, ci și destinul ulterior al ideilor leniniste. Structura volumului urmărește o progresie logică de la definirea statului ca instrument de exploatare (Capitolul I), până la analiza eșecurilor și lecțiilor oferite de momente revoluționare anterioare, precum Comuna din Paris. Subliniem că, spre deosebire de Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism, unde autorul se concentrează pe dinamica economică a monopolurilor, aici accentul cade pe mecanismele de forță — armată, închisori și birocrație. Este o alternativă teoretică la Revolution Manifesto pentru cursurile de științe politice, cu avantajul de a oferi perspectiva directă a arhitectului revoluției, nu doar o analiză contemporană. Comparativ cu edițiile incluse în Essential Works of Lenin, acest volum individual permite o imersiune mai profundă în polemica autorului cu oponenții săi politici. Textul este marcat de un ton tranșant, reflectând urgența momentului istoric. Deși a rămas neterminată, lucrarea sintetizează trecerea de la teoria marxistă la practica politică ce avea să definească secolul XX, fiind esențială pentru studiul ideologiilor totalitare.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această ediție studenților la istorie și științe politice care doresc să înțeleagă fundamentele ideologice ale comunismului. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă clară asupra modului în care Lenin a reinterpretat marxismul pentru a justifica violența revoluționară. Este un document istoric indispensabil, oferit într-o traducere critică semnată de Robert Service, care explică mecanismele puterii și conceptul de „dispariție a statului”.

Notă biografică

Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich (1870-1924) - one of the leaders of the Bolshevik party since its formation in 1903. Led the Soviets to power in October, 1917. Elected to the head of the Soviet government until 1922, when he retired due to ill health. Lenin, born in 1870, was committed to revolutionary struggle from an early age - his elder brother was hanged for the attempted assassination of Czar Alexander III. In 1891 Lenin passed his Law exam with high honors, whereupon he took to representing the poorest peasantry in Samara. After moving to St. Petersburg in 1893, Lenin's experience with the oppression of the peasantry in Russia, coupled with the revolutionary teachings of G V Plekhanov, guided Lenin to meet with revolutionary groups. In April 1895, his comrades helped send Lenin abroad to get up to speed with the revolutionary movement in Europe, and in particular, to meet the Emancipation of Labour Group, of which Plekhanov head. After five months abroad, traveling from Switzerland to France to Germany, working at libraries and newspapers to make his way, Lenin returned to Russia, carrying a brief case with a false bottom, full of Marxist literature. On returning to Russia, Lenin and Martov created the League for the Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class, uniting the Marxist circles in Petrograd at the time. The group supported strikes and union activity, distributed Marxist literature, and taught in workers education groups. In St. Petersburg Lenin begins a relationship with Nadezhda Krupskaya. In the night of December 8, 1895, Lenin and the members of the party are arrested; Lenin sentenced to 15 months in prison. By 1897, when the prison sentence expired, the autocracy appended an additional three year sentence, due to Lenin's continual writing and organising while in prison. Lenin is exiled to the village of Shushenskoye, in Siberia, where he becomes a leading member of the peasant community. Krupskaya is soon also sent into exile for revolutionary activities, and together they work on party organising, the monumental work: The Development of Capitalism in Russia, and the translating of Sidney and Beatrice Webb's Industrial Democracy. After his term of exile ends, Lenin emigrates to Münich, and is soon joined by Krupskaya. Lenin creates Iskra, in efforts to bring together the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, which had been scattered after the police persecution of the first congress of the party in 1898.

As every experienced reader knows, an index is a helpful resource for more efficient, insightful reading, and a useful aid for research. Lenin's original work on class-based revolution. In 1917, in the midst of two revolutions, Vladimir Ilich Lenin fled Russia for fear of persecution by the government. While in exile, he began work on one of his most important works, State and Revolution, an attempt to resurrect the purity of Marx's and Engels's socialist teachings, which Lenin claimed were subsumed and weakened by reformists who reduced the "great revolutionaries" into "harmless icons." In State and Revolution, Lenin posits that the traditional role of the state in society is to maintain the control of the powerful, thus enabling the rich to exploit the poor. Because the ruling class will never willingly give up their political influence, social democracy-including parliamentary elections-is a false promise, and only results in a new crop of rich overlords lining up to "repress and crush the people." The sole way to bring true freedom and self-determination to all citizens, and throw off the "yoke of capitalism," is through Communist revolution-to "smash the state." As a result, the state would "wither away," and its bureaucrats would perform the will of the proletariat. This seminal work provides a practical application of socialist principles and it has greatly influenced theories of global capitalist development. Italian philosopher Lucio Colletti called State and Revolution "Lenin's greatest contribution to political theory." To deepen your understanding of Lenin's arguments in State and Revolution, you may also wish to read his treatise on the relationship between capitalism and colonialism; Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism. Enhanced edition with index published by Echo Point Books (hardcover ISBN 1635617278; paperback ISBN 1635617197).
