Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exhibition "Lenin: Icebreaker" premiered in 2013 aboard the decommissioned Soviet nuclear-powered icebreaker Lenin. Expanded with works by US-American artists for the Austrian Cultural Forum New York, the exhibition revisits the cultural consequences of the failed utopias of the 20th century, including that of artistic modernity itself. The catalogue explores the essence of contemporary political art, which is a witness to the rise of ultraconservative nationalisms as well as global turmoil fueled by the current economic crisis. In order to fathom the possibilities for a better future, we need to steer the icebreaker Lenin through the icy archive of dreams waiting to be salvaged.

Download or read book Lenin written by Lars T. Lih and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin (1870–1924) is the man most associated with communism and its influence and reach around the world. Lenin was the leader of the communist Bolshevik party during the October 1917 revolution in Russia, and he subsequently headed the Soviet state until 1924, bringing stability to the region and establishing a socialist economic and political system. In Lenin, Lars T. Lih presents a striking new interpretation of Lenin’s political beliefs and strategies. Until now, Lenin has been portrayed as a pessimist with a dismissive view of the revolutionary potential of the workers. However, Lih reveals that underneath the sharp polemics, Lenin was actually a romantic enthusiast rather than a sour pragmatist, one who imposed meaning on the whirlwind of events going on around him. This concise and unique biography is based on wide-ranging new research that puts Lenin into the context both of Russian society and of the international socialist movement of the early twentieth century. It also sets the development of Lenin’s political outlook firmly within the framework of his family background and private life. In addition, the book’s images, which are taken from contemporary photographs, posters, and drawings, illustrate the features of Lenin’s world and time. A vivid, non-ideological portrait, Lenin is an essential look at one of the key figures of modern history.

This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bolshevik Russia, government by direct democracy was realised and effected by the soviets (elected councils of workers) which Lenin said was the “democratic dictatorship of the proletariat” postulated in orthodox Marxism. Concerning the disenfranchisement from democracy of the capitalist social class, Lenin said: “Democracy for the vast majority of the people, and suppression by force, i.e. exclusion from democracy, of the exploiters and oppressors of the people — this is the change democracy undergoes during the transition from capitalism to communism.” 1.

Download or read book The Vladimir Lenin Collection Illustrated written by Vladimir Lenin and published by Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism, by Lenin, is a concise article that examines the historical roots, essence, and content of Marxist teaching. Lenin wrote it on the 30th anniversary of the death of Karl Marx. Soviet propaganda makers lifted a key quote from the article to use as a slogan for posters, inscriptions on monuments, or other propaganda purposes. The phrase was: “The might of Marx’s teaching is in its truth.” The book, The State and Revolution: The Marxist Theory of the State and the Tasks of the Proletariat in the Revolution, was written while preparing for the socialist revolution. At this time the role of the state was of prime importance to the Bolsheviks. Lenin used the text to justify the need for a dictatorship of the proletariat. He also provided definitions for imperialism, socialism, and communism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lenin - the man, the revolutionary, and the world leader - has remained an enigma, part myth arising from the tumult of the Russian Revolution and part image carefully controlled for nearly seventy years by the leaders of the Soviet Union and their sympathizers abroad. The Unknown Lenin, containing long concealed documents from the Soviet archives, helps correct the myth and revise the image. Lenin emerges here as a ruthless, manipulative leader who used terror, subversion, and persecution to achieve his goals.
Download or read book Is China an Empire written by Han Shih Toh and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the rapid increase in China's overseas investment and trade, China's global economic clout is increasing by the day. Does China's global economic reach make it an empire in the 21st century? What sort of impact will China's trade and investment have on its global counterparts? Chinese investment projects around the world, from railways in Africa and dams in Latin America to the acquisition of landmark buildings in the US, look to alter global patterns of influence and power. How would other countries react to China's rising international influence? The US government and many Americans deny their country is an empire, although the US status as the leading superpower makes it an empire in all but name. How will China coexist with the US, which has arguably been an imperialist power since the end of World War II? How will the incumbent neo-imperialist power, the US, deal with an emergent China? With its acute analysis of Sino–US relations, the book will interest readers who wish to understand the impact of China on various countries, its place on the world stage as well as the geopolitical implications for all in the 21st century.
Download or read book Reconstructing Lenin written by Tamás Krausz and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vladimir Ilyich Lenin is among the most enigmatic and influential figures of the twentieth century. While his life and work are crucial to any understanding of modern history and the socialist movement, generations of writers on the left and the right have seen fit to embalm him endlessly with superficial analysis or dreary dogma. Now, after the fall of the Soviet Union and “actually-existing” socialism, it is possible to consider Lenin afresh, with sober senses trained on his historical context and how it shaped his theoretical and political contributions. Reconstructing Lenin, four decades in the making and now available in English for the first time, is an attempt to do just that. Tamás Krausz, an esteemed Hungarian scholar writing in the tradition of György Lukács, Ferenc Tokei, and István Mészáros, makes a major contribution to a growing field of contemporary Lenin studies. This rich and penetrating account reveals Lenin busy at the work of revolution, his thought shaped by immediate political events but never straying far from a coherent theoretical perspective. Krausz balances detailed descriptions of Lenin’s time and place with lucid explications of his intellectual development, covering a range of topics like war and revolution, dictatorship and democracy, socialism and utopianism.Reconstructing Lenin will change the way you look at a man and a movement; it will also introduce the English-speaking world to a profound radical scholar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One cannot overstate the value of political theory. Studying political ideas from different eras might help you see the bigger picture and make better future plans. Politicians and future politicians might develop more sophisticated solutions to current challenges by studying political philosophy in its historical context. Western political theory forms the foundation of contemporary global politics. Studying political philosophy often begins with western authors, namely the greeks, since their hypotheses are written alone in separate expositions, rather than being interwoven throughout literature that is primarily religious or moral, unlike what was case mostly with its eastern counterparts. Consequently, this book starts with plato then covers some of the most influential western philosophers throughout history, such as Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Bentham, Mill, Hegel, Green Marx, and others. This book takes an analytical approach to its subject matter, while its writing style keeps it short and simple. Both educators and ordinary readers would get a wealth of useful information throughout this book.
