Marx, Lenin, and the Revolutionary Experience (eBook, PDF)

Studies of Communism and Radicalism in an Age of Globalization

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Marx, Lenin, and the Revolutionary Experience offers a fresh look at Communism, both the bad and good, and also touches on anarchism, Christian theory, conservatism, liberalism, Marxism, and more, to argue for the enduring relevance of Karl Marx, and V.I. Lenin as democratic revolutionaries. It examines the "Red Decade" of the 1930s and the civil rights movement and the New Left of the 1960s in the United States as well.

Studying the past to grapple with issues of war and terrorism, exploitation, hunger, ecological crisis, and trends toward deadening "de-spiritualization", the book shows how the revolutionaries of the past are still relevant to today's struggles. It offers a clearly written and carefully reasoned thematic discussion of globalization, Marxism, Christianity (and religion in general), Communism, the history of the USSR and US radical and social movements.

Rezensionen

"In this most welcome and refreshing contribution to the discussion on the present relevance of 20th Century radical traditions, Paul Le Blanc offers insightful and sympathetic assessments of Marx, Lenin, and currents ranging from Radical Christianity to Anarchism... this collection of clearly written as well as inspiring essays raises issues of universal interest." -- Michael Lowy, Against the Current
