Marx is OK, but Lenin? Doesnt he stand for the big catastrophe which left its mark on the entire twentieth-century?<br />Lenin, however, deserves wider consideration than this, and his writings of 1917 are testament to a formidable political figure. They reveal his ability to grasp the significance of an extraordinary moment in history. Everything is here, from Lenin-the-ingenious-revolutionary-strategist to Lenin-of-the-enacted-utopia. To use Kierkegaards phrase, what we can glimpse in these writings is Lenin-in-becoming: not yet Lenin-the-Soviet-institution, but Lenin thrown into an open, contingent situation.<br />In <em>Revolution at the Gates</em>, Slavoj Zizek locates the 1917 writings in their historical context, while his afterword tackles the key question of whether Lenin can be reinvented in our era of "cultural capitalism." Zizek is convinced that, whatever the discussion-the forthcoming crisis of capitalism, the possibility of a redemptive violence, the falsity of liberal tolerance-Lenins time has come again.</p>...3610502Revolution at the Gates198257https://www.gandhi.com.mx/revolution-at-the-gates-9781781689615/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3683623/e14b3c07-1f04-4641-aab0-ed8373a408e9.jpg?v=638385725096470000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20149781781689615_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_<p>How to reinvent Lenin in the era of cultural capitalism.</p><p>The idea of a Lenin renaissance might well provoke an outburst of sarcastic laughter.
