A Rebel's Guide to Lenin

by Ian Birchall - £3.00  Bookmarks (2006)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781905192038 | ISBN 10: 1905192037

Most historians tell you that Lenin and Leninism are very bad things.
 
Lenin is said to have ruled in dictatorial fashion over his own party, and later over the state created by the Russian Revolution.
 
The real Lenin was a bit more complicated. Above all he played a key role in the Russian Revolution of October 1917 which opened up, before it was strangled by Stalin, the possibility of another world in which production would be for human need, not profit.
 
The world today is very different from the one Lenin knew. Yet if he came back to life Lenin would recognise some things all too quickly - endless wars, the pillage of the poor countries by rich corporations, the corruption of mainstream politicians.
 
Lenin's work is not a set of recipe books, but an analysis of Lenin's experience and achievements can help us understand his methods, and so make it easier for us to develop the forms of organisation we need for our own struggles today.
 
This book offers an accessible introduction to Lenin, the man, his ideas and their relevance to the 21st century.
