Description
One hundred years after the Russian Revolution, Slavoj Žižek explores why Lenin's thought remains relevant today. This collection of Lenin's original texts sheds new light on his true greatness as a revolutionary leader.
Žižek argues that Lenin's courage and determination can be found in his willingness to confront the reality of retreat in the face of foreign invasion, economic crisis, and internal revolts. As the anticipated world revolution receded into the distance, Lenin had to chart new paths for the Soviet state to survive.
Today, as the world grapples with political turbulence, economic crises, and geopolitical tensions, revisiting Lenin's combination of sober lucidity and revolutionary determination is more important than ever.
