Topic: International Lenin School


  
  Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Lenin continued to be the chief exponent of Bolshevik thought in the long struggles for supremacy against Plekhanov, Kautsky, and other less radical Marxists.
Lenin was in Switzerland during the early years of World War I. In his view the war was an imperialist struggle; since imperialism was “the final stage of capitalism,” it was a historical necessity that the war would offer opportunities for a revolution of the proletariat.
Lenin concluded that Russia was now ripe for a socialist revolution, arguing that the moderate provisional government represented the bourgeoisie whereas the soviets represented, in his words, a revolutionary democratic dictatorship of the proletariat and peasantry.

 Civil War, Lenin and the Rise of Stalin
In 1922, Lenin was incapacitated by a stroke, and his likely successor was thought to be Leon Trotsky, the leader second to Lenin in the coup of 1917 and the leader of the Red Army.
By 1922, Lenin's position on nationalities was that the Revolution should rule wherever conquest was possible, but he rationalized this with the notion that the conquered areas were to have a federated equality within a "Union of Soviet Republics." Stalin preferred absorbing the nationalities into the existing governmental structure without any such federated equality.
Lenin was by now making a name for himself in the socialist movement, and Dzhugashvili was attracted to Lenin's movement in opposition to the Mensheviks, scorning the Mensheviks because of the preponderance of Jews among them.

 BBC - History - Vladimir Lenin (1870 - 1924)
One of the leading political figures and revolutionary thinkers of the 20th century, Lenin masterminded the Bolshevik take-over of power in Russia in 1917 and was the architect and first head of the Soviet state.
After his Siberian exile, Lenin - the pseudonym he adopted in 1901 - spent most of the subsequent decade and a half in Western Europe, where he emerged as a prominent figure in the international revolutionary movement and became the leader of the 'Bolshevik' faction of the Russian Social Democratic Worker's Party.
During this period of revolution, war and famine, Lenin demonstrated a chilling disregard for the sufferings of his fellow countrymen.

 Slavoj Zizek - Slavoj Žižek - Professor of Philosophy and Psychoanalysis - Biography
In appropriating "Lenin" he is also looking for the moment when Lenin realized that politics could one day be dissolved for a technocratic and agronomic utopia, "the [pure] management of things".
That Lenin failed is immaterial, since Zizek is extracting the signifier "Lenin" from the historical continuum, which includes that failure — or the onslaught of Stalinism.
The version of Lenin that Zizek often chooses to re-enscribe into radical political discourse is ostensibly (by his own admission) the Lenin of the October Revolution, or the Lenin that had the epiphany that in order to have a revolution "you have to have a revolution."

 Seattle Weekly: Arts: And One More Idea . . .  by Robert Myers
Stalin was more ruthless, it's true, but excusing Lenin on those terms is like excusing the American torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib because the techniques used were milder than those of Saddam.
Lenin was nothing less, and not much more, than a murderer, though murderer may be too mild a term; sociopathic totalitarian bastard would be closer to the truth.
So, skinny commie or not, Lenin has been thoroughly disgraced, and the political argument against him settling in the "Artists' Republic of Fremont" would appear to be irrefutable.

Lenin's note was comparatively short, but it contained a bold and fearless criticism of the practical work of our Party, and a remarkably clear and concise account of the entire plan of work of the Party in the immediate future.
What, then, was my disappointment to learn that Lenin had arrived at the conference before the delegates, had settled himself somewhere in a corner, and was unassumingly carrying on a conversation, a most ordinary conversation with the most ordinary delegates at the conference.
I do not mean by this that Lenin approved equally of all revolutionary upheavals, or that he was in favour of revolutionary outbreaks at all times and under all circumstances.

Under these circumstances to leave Ireland to join the International brigades was not only a highly conscious political decision but a remarkable act of defiance of the climate of opinion in the country which brought the individuals concerned not only into conflict with the community but in most cases with their own families as well.

This pamphlet by Lenin was first published 90 years ago in the midst of World War I and on the eve of the Russian revolution.
Lenin presents a more than convincing case that what we see today is no more than the normal workings of imperialism and therein lays the source of the problem
Instead, Lenin's approach was quite authoritarian; an elite group of revolutionaries establish themselves OVER the peasants and workers, thus creating the foundation for tyranny.

What unified the national and international moments of British Communism and resolved the tensions between defence of the "workers’ state" and the struggle for its extension to Britain was, as Macfarlane demonstrated, the legitimacy of the Russian leadership as the final arbiter.
The second school, "the revisionists," are influenced by the "new labour history" and end up "dismissing the importance of what might be called the ‘high politics’ of the International and its parties." The only British scholar cited as revisionist is Macintyre.
The third school, the "post-revisionists," are defined with imprecision as rejecting on the one hand, the idea that British Communists were "slaves of Moscow" and, on the other, the view that they were "utterly unaffected by the Comintern and the leaders of their national parties."
