Description

Lenin: The Heritage We (Don't) Renounce brings together 100+ authors and visual artists from 50+ countries across the world - from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe - in order to critically commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the death of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, aka Lenin, on 21 January 1924. Combining academic, journalistic and more personal-political texts, including poetry, theatrical skits and fictional writing, the books' contributors aim to identify and constructively engage with the living legacy of Lenin's life and work before, during and after the October Revolution. Concretely, the 100+ texts deal with a great variety of "old [Leninist] truths that are ever new" (Lenin), both historically and in today's times: Imperialism, the National Question and the Right to Self-Determination, the Vanguard Party, Trans Liberation, Ecological Leninism, Dialectics, Artificial Intelligence, Military Marxisms, Black Liberation, Communist Feminism as well as Revolutionary Dreaming and Organising, among many others.
