Se ha escrito ya mucho sobre la Revolución de Octubre y sobre la naturaleza del sistema soviético. Pero no todos está dichoEs más, hay quien hoy sale al paso de las interpretaciones dominantes, tanto desde la derecha como desde la izquierda, y aloja nuevas luces sobre uno de los procesos sociales más relevantes del siglo XX. Este es el caso de Samir Amin, que lejos de proyectar una mirada nostálgica hacia el pasado, Amin identifica los errores y flaquezas de aquella construcción y proporciona las claves que permiten comprender la evolución de los hechos. Así, sin esconder las sombras, señala también las luces que acompañaron a aquel gran primer proyecto socialista. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Great revolutions make history. Conservative resistance and counter-revolutions only delay their progress. The French revolution invented modern politics and democracy, the Russian revolution paved the way for the socialist transition, while the Chinese revolution connected the emancipation of those peoples oppressed by imperialism with the path to socialism. These revolutions are great precisely because they are bearers of undertakings that are far ahead of the immediate demands of their time. beacons that illuminate the still unfinished struggles of the peoples for the realization of these goals. It is impossible to understand the contemporary world by ignoring these great revolutions. To commemorate these revolutions, says Samir Amin, one needs both to assess their ambitions (the utopia of today will be the reality of tomorrow), and to understand the reasons for their temporary setbacks. Conservative and reactionary minds refuse to do so--they wish us to believe that great revolutions have been nothing more than unfortunate accidents, that the peoples who have made them were carried away by their deceitful enthusiasm, diversions from the normal current of history. This collection of essays helps to situate the lessons of the October 1917 Russian Revolution from a perspective of 100 years. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
