Abstract:
Even many radicals agree with liberals who quote conservatives who assure us that Lenin and his revolutionary communist perspectives were inhumane and authoritarian—but important new scholarship compellingly argues that such allegations are false. In the post‐9/11 world, dominant ideologies are being undermined by political and social crises generating insurgent forces that may be ready to see a new relevance in Lenin. Varieties of conservatism, reformism, anarchism, and fundamentalism (secular as well as religious) have been tried, continue to be tried, and yet the times in which we live seem to grow more terrible. What masses of people are experiencing, feeling, and thinking today gives recent Lenin‐influenced works a growing resonance, and so they may find a greater “market” than previously has been the case. With the appearance of such scholarship, each offering challenging interpretations, we may be on the eve of a Lenin revival.
