| "Lenin Reloaded: Toward a Politics of Truth"

</div><div class="book-cover">[[Image:bd8732fc02139249762918a4c093565b-d.jpg]]</div><div class="book-descr"><div>''Lenin Reloaded&lt;/I&gt; is a rallying call by some of the [[world]]'s leading [[Marxist]] intellectuals for renewed attention to the [[significance]] of Vladimir Lenin. The volume's editors explain that it was Lenin who made Karl [[Marx]]'s [[thought]] explicitly [[political]], who extended it beyond the confines of [[Europe]], who put it into [[practice]]. They contend that a focus on Lenin is urgently needed now, when [[global]] [[capitalism]] appears to be the only [[game]] in town, the [[liberal]]-democratic [[system]] seems to have been settled on as the optimal political organization of [[society]], and it has become easier to imagine the end of the world than a modest [[change]] in the [[mode of production]]. Lenin retooled Marx's thought for specific historical [[conditions]] in 1914, and ''Lenin Reloaded&lt;/I&gt; urges a reinvention of the revolutionary [[project]] for the [[present]]. Such a project would be Leninist in its commitment to [[action]] based on truth and its acceptance of the consequences that follow from action. These essays, some of which are appearing in English for the [[first time]], bring Lenin face-to-face with the problems of today, including war, [[imperialism]], the imperative to build an intelligentsia of [[wage]] earners, the [[need]] to embrace the achievements of bourgeois society and [[modernity]], and the widespread failure of [[social]] [[democracy]]. ''Lenin Reloaded&lt;/I&gt; demonstrates that truth and partisanship are not mutually exclusive as is often suggested. Quite the opposite—in the present, truth can be articulated only from a thoroughly partisan [[position]].'' ''Contributors&lt;/I&gt;. Kevin B.
