Revolution at the Gates: Selected Writings of Lenin from 1917 - Slavoj Zizek

Introduced and edited by one of the most famous philosophers of our time, Slavoj Zizek presents Lenin's most famous works. Locating the writing in its historical context, Zizek goes further in his extensive afterword and tackles the idea whether Lenin can be reinvented in our era of 'cultural capitalism'. He concludes that whatever the discussion - the crisis of capitalism,the possiblity of a redemptive violence, the falsity of libeal tolerance - the time is ripe for us to revise our understanding of Lenin.
