Vladimir Lenin

V sbornik voshli osnovnye raboty Lenina, posvjaschennye filosofii marksizma, a takzhe teorii i praktike partijnogo i gosudarstvennogo stroitelstva: "S chego nachat?", "Chto delat?", "Partijnaja organizatsija i partijnaja literatura", "Tri istochnika i tri sostavnykh chasti marksizma", "Gosudarstvo i revoljutsija" i "Detskaja bolezn "levizny" v kommunizme".

Stato e rivoluzione un vero e proprio manifesto sull'applicazione dei principi rivoluzionari e sull'idea di Stato. Come scrive Lenin nella prefazione alla prima edizione, la Prima Guerra Mondiale ha accelerato il processo di trasformazione del capitalismo monopolistico privato in capitalismo monopolistico di Stato. Gli Stati dei diversi paesi, in stretta unione con le associazioni degli imprenditori, hanno acuito l'oppressione dei lavoratori con il pretesto che sia necessario contribuire alla vittoria della guerra imperialistica, una guerra "per la spartizione e la ridistribuzione del bottino" tra i paesi vincitori. "Quando esiste lo Stato, non vi pu essere libert . Quando vi libert , non pu esistere lo Stato."

Imperializm, kak vysshaja stadija kapitalizma- ekonomicheskaja rabota V. I. Lenina, posvjaschjonnaja perekhodu kapitalizma v kontse XIX - nachale XX veka ot stadii pervonachalnogo nakoplenija kapitala k stadii monopolisticheskogo kapitalizma, ili imperializma. V ocherke dostupno izlagajutsja osnovnye ekonomicheskie zakonomernosti, prisuschie kapitalizmu na dannom etape razvitija.

Rabota V. I. Lenina "Gosudarstvo i revoljutsija" razvivaet uchenie K. Marksa o gosudarstve. V etom klassicheskom dlja sotsiologii tekste Lenin razbiraet voprosy ob ekonomicheskikh prichinakh otmiranija klassovogo obschestva i gosudarstva. Lenin predlagaet istoricheskoe ponimanie demokratii. Chem otlichaetsja demokratija kapitalizma ot demokratii pri sotsializme i pochemu ona ischezaet pri torzhestve kommunizma? Otvety na eti voprosy dajut vozmozhnost razobratsja, v kakom obschestve my zhivem sejchas, kakova obschestvennaja i politicheskaja situatsija v dannom istoricheskom momente.

The State and Revolution is considered to be Lenin's most important work on the state and has been called by Lucio Colletti "Lenin's greatest contribution to the political theory". According to the Marxologist David McLellan, "the book had its origin in Lenin's argument with Bukharin in the summer of 1916 over the existence of the state after a proletarian revolution. Bukharin had emphasized the 'withering' aspect, whereas Lenin insisted on the necessity of the state machinery to expropriate the expropriators. In fact, it was Lenin who changed his mind, and many of the ideas of State and Revolution, composed in the summer of 1917 - particularly the anti-Statist theme - were those of Bukharin".

Written during World War I, Lenin shows how the rejection of the right of self-determination of nations led to the Kautskyite support of imperialism.

"This transformation of competition into monopoly is one of the most important - if not the most important - phenomena of modern capitalist economy." During the First World War, Lenin found himself isolated, but he was not afraid to fight against the stream. He dedicated all his strength to educating and training the Bolsheviks on the basis of the genuine ideas of Marxism. His masterpiece, Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism, is an immortal monument to his work in the vital field of theory. No book has ever explained the phenomena of modern capitalism better. Indeed, all of Lenin's predictions concerning the concentration of capital, the dominance of the banks and finance capital, the growing antagonism between nation states and the inevitability of war arising out of the contradictions of imperialism have been shown to be true by the entire history of the last 100 years. The Communist Manifesto already explains that free competition inevitably gives rise to monopoly and the concentration of capital in a few giant enterprises. However, this process did not culminate during the life time of Marx and Lenin was in a position to analyse it in great details. Using the vast amount of statistics at his disposal, he outlines this process. Lenin further explains that in the stage of imperialist monopoly capitalism, the entire economy is under the domination of the banks and finance capital. Today, over one hundred years after it was first published, this domination is 100 times greater. Lenin's text therefore stands as required reading for anyone fighting to change society.

Vladimir Il'ich Lenin (Ul'janov) 10 (22) aprelja 1870, Simbirsk - 21 janvarja 1924, Gorki, Moskovskaja gubernija], rossijskij politicheskij i gosudarstvennyj dejatel'; osnovatel' kommunisticheskoj partii i sovetskogo gosudarstva; odin iz liderov mezhdunarodnogo kommunisticheskogo dvizhenija. Kniga Gosudarstvo i revoljucija napisana Leninym v podpol'e, v avguste-sentjabre 1917 goda. Mysl' o neobhodimosti teoreticheskoj razrabotki voprosa o gosudarstve byla vyskazana Leninym vo vtoroj polovine 1916 goda. Togda zhe on napisal zametku Internacional molodezhi (sm. Sochinenija, 4 izd., tom 23, str. 153-156), v kotoroj podverg kritike antimarksistskuju poziciju Buharina po voprosu o gosudarstve i obeshhal napisat' podrobnuju stat'ju ob otnoshenii marksizma k gosudarstvu. V pis'me k A. M. Kollontaj ot 17 fevralja (n. st.) 1917 goda Lenin soobshhal, chto on pochti podgotovil material po voprosu ob otnoshenii marksizma k gosudarstvu. Jetot material byl napisan melkim uboristym pocherkom v tetradke v sinej oblozhke, ozaglavlennoj Marksizm o gosudarstve. V nej byli sobrany citaty iz proizvedenij K. Marksa i f. Jengel'sa, a takzhe vyderzhki iz knig Kautskogo, Pannekuka i Bernshtejna s kriticheskimi zamechanijami, vyvodami i obobshhenijami V. I. Lenina. Soglasno namechennomu planu, kniga Gosudarstvo i revoljucija dolzhna byla sostojat' iz semi glav, no poslednjaja, sed'maja, glava Opyt russkih revoljucij 1905 i 1917 godov Leninym napisana ne byla, sohranilsja lish' podrobno razrabotannyj plan jetoj glavy (sm. Leninskij sbornik XXI, 1933, str. 25-26). Po voprosu ob izdanii knigi Lenin v zapiske k izdatelju pisal, chto esli on slishkom opozdaet s okonchaniem jetoj, VII-oj glavy, ili esli ona nepomerno raspuhnet, togda pervye shest' glav nado izdat' otdel'no, kak vypusk pervyj.... Na pervoj stranice rukopisi avtor knigi oboznachen psevdonimom F. F. Ivanovskij. Pod takim psevdonimom Lenin predpolagal vypustit' svoju knigu, tak kak inache Vremennoe pravitel'stvo konfiskovalo by ee. Kniga byla izdana tol'ko v 1918 godu i neobhodimost' v jetom psevdonime otpala. Vtoroe izdanie knigi s vnesennym Leninym vo vtoruju glavu novym razdelom Postanovka voprosa Marksom v 1852 godu vyshlo v 1919 godu.

To, chto politika, v duhovnom plane, javljaetsja otrazheniem opredelennoj filosofskoj sistemy, - dokazyvat' ne nado, jeto azbuchnaja istina. Ne nuzhdaetsja v dokazatel'stvah i tezis o tom, chto filosofskaja sistema marksizma, razvitaja V. I. Leninym, byla vostrebovana millionami ljudej vo vsem mire na protjazhenii vsego dvadcatogo stoletija; ne otbroshena ona i sejchas, nesmotrja na tu ostruju kritiku, kotoroj jeta sistema nyne podvergaetsja. Konechno, mnogie idei Lenina, osobenno kasajushhiesja sijuminutnyh politicheskih zadach, teper' ne aktual'ny, no chast' voprosov, zatronutyh im, ne poterjali svoej ostroty i v nashi dni, a nekotorye voprosy eshhe ochen' dolgo budut stojat' pered chelovechestvom. K chislu takih vechnyh voprosov otnositsja problema nasilija, ego dopustimosti, znachenija v obshhestvennom razvitii i v gosudarstvennoj zhizni.

Lenin propone qui un vero e proprio manifesto sull'applicazione dei principi rivoluzionari, soffermandosi sul problema dello Stato. "Quando esiste lo stato, non vi pu essere libert . Quando vi libert , non pu esistere lo Stato". L'idea di stato e rivoluzione era quella di ovviare alla mancanza di aiuto che la sinistra occidentale stava dando non solo alla fine immediata della guerra mondiale, ma anche alla trasformazione della guerra imperialistica in guerra civile.
