Ebook: Marxism and the Leninist Revolutionary Model

In this volume, William Davidshofer sets forth an insightful comparative analysis of Marxist and Leninist revolutionary theory. Beginning with the influence of the Hegel's dialectic and the political propositions of historical materialism on Communist cadre rule in the socialist state, the study goes on to explore Lenin's interpretation of the Marxist texts that led to his new and distinct theory of socialist revolution. Paying special attention to Marx's theory of the overaccumulation of capital and that theory's impact on Leninist Russia's struggle for national self-determination, the text comprises an invaluable contribution to existing scholarship in the field.
