Roberto Sáenz: Marxism and the Socialist Transition, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

**A critical reassessment of the history of the Russian Revolution -- both the greatest revolution of our time and the most terrible bureaucratic counterrevolution. **We have before us the immeasurable historical laboratory of the Russian Revolution. The working class fought, won, seized power, and expropriated the capitalists: a remarkable anti-capitalist feat. But it was then politically expropriated by the bureaucracy---that "tissue of practical illusions" which became a "political class", degenerated the character of the state into a bureaucratic one, and blocked the socialist transition. This experience is ours to grasp and draw radical conclusions from. Socialist transition is a social, economic, and political process, in which real workers' power is essential to lead the way.
