Vladimir Iljič Lenin Libri

Scritto nell'immediata e concitata vigilia della Rivoluzione d'ottobre (che costrinse l'autore a interromperne la stesura) Stato e rivoluzione resta un punto di partenza essenziale per qualsiasi ulteriore approfondimento e aggiornamento della dottrina del marxismo. Qui Lenin, con il consueto pragmatismo, affronta da un punto di vista dottrinario, storico e anche pratico l'applicazione dei principi rivoluzionari, spaziando dai casi storici dei moti del 1848 e della Comune di Parigi (1871), sino alla più stringente attualità.

Excerpt from The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism; Karl Marx; Frederick Engels Karl Marx was born on May 5, 1818, in the city of Trier (rhenish Prussia). His father was a lawyer, a Jew, who in 1824 adopted Protestantism. The family was well-to-do, cultured, but not revolutionary! After graduating fi'om the gymnasium in Trier, Marx entered university, first at Bonn and later at Berlin, where he studied jurisprudence, but chiefly history and philos ophy. He concluded his course in 1841, submitting his doctoral dissertation on the philosophy of Epicurus. In his views Marx at that time was a Hegelian idealist. In Berlin he belonged to the circle of Left Hegelians (bruno Bauer and others) who sought to draw atheis tic and revolutionary conclusions from Hegel's philos ophy.
