Description: The idea of a Lenin renaissance might well provoke an outburst of sarcastic laughter. Marx is OK but Lenin? Doesn t he stand for the big catastrophe which left its mark on the entire twentieth - century? 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 Kierkegaard's 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. In Revolution at the Gates Slavoj i ek 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. i ek is convinced that whatever the discussion the forthcoming crisis of capitalism the possibility of a redemptive violence the falsity of liberal tolerance Lenin's time has come again.
