Russia: From Proletarian Revolution to State-Capitalist Counter-Revolution

Russia: From Proletarian Revolution to State-Capitalist Counter-Revolution is a selection of writings by the Marxist-Humanist philosopher Raya Dunayevskaya, which begins with an examination of Lenin's Hegel Notebooks, his philosophic preparation for proletarian revolution, followed by a section on "e;What Happens After"e; the revolution--the first years post 1917. Analyses of Trotsky, Stalin, Bukharin, and Luxemburg are presented. A key section is "e;Russia's Transformation into Opposite: The Theory of State-Capitalism."e; Opposition to Russian state-capitalism such as the 1953 East Germany Revolt and the 1956 Hungarian Revolution are described. Mao's China as another form of state-capitalism, as well as the Sino-Soviet conflict, is discussed. The study ends with a "e;battle of ideas"e; with other analyses of the Revolution and its aftermath.
