Changes

The [[return ]] to [[Lenin ]] aims neither at nostalgically reenacting the "[[good ]] old revolutionary [[times]]," nor at the opportunistic-pragmatic adjustment of the old program to "new [[conditions]]," but at [[repeating]], in the [[present ]] [[world]]-wide conditions, the Leninist gesture of reinventing the revolutionary [[project ]] in the conditions of [[imperialism ]] and colonialism, more precisely: after the politico-[[ideological ]] collapse of the long era of progressism in the catastrophe of 1914. Eric Hobsbawn defined the CONCEPT of the XXth century as the [[time ]] between 1914, the end of the long peaceful expansion of [[capitalism]], and 1990, the emergence of the new [[form ]] of [[global ]] capitalism after the collapse of the Really Existing [[Socialism]]. What Lenin did for 1914, we should do for 1990. "Lenin" stands for the compelling FREEDOM to suspend the stale existing (post)ideological coordinates, the debilitating Denkverbot in which we live — it simply means that we are allowed to [[think ]] again.
